Nintendo reports poor quarterly Wii U sales

Nintendo's Wii U console sold only 160,000 units worldwide during the past three months, the company has reported in its quarterly sales.

The company blamed a lack of first-party releases for the poor performance, reports GI, as software sales for the system were at 1.3 million units.

In the previous three months Wii U sales were 390,000 hardware units and 13.42 million games, a sharp contrast. Despite the low numbers the company is still sticking with full-year estimates of 9 million hardware units sold and 38 million games for the Wii U.

The original Wii console managed to outsell its successor during the three months, with 210,000 units and 3.67 million games sold.
