Wii U sales reach 10 million units

Nintendo has released its latest financial report that confirms the Wii U console has sold over 10 million units worldwide.

The sales milestone comes almost three years after the launch of the console. However, the Wii U sold 470,000 units during this quarter, down from 510,000 units last year.

In the same quarter last year Nintendo made a ¥9.9 billion loss, but that is now an ¥8.3 billion net profit ($67 million). Overall, the company earned ¥90.2 billion ($729 million) in revenue, up 21 per cent year-on-year, with ¥65 billion of that amount coming from overseas markets.

Splatoon, the most recent exclusive for the console, has sold 1.62 million units since its launch at the end of May, including both packaged and downloadable versions. Wii U software sold a total of 4.55 million units worldwide.

The 3DS hardware family sold 1.01 million units in Q1, up from 820,000 units year-on-year. 3DS games sold 7.92 million units, down from 8.57 million units.
