Nintendo’s Q2 financial report was released today, and (in addition to news about Nintendo Directs) we got more details on what games have been selling the best for Wii U and 3DS.
To date, Nintendo has sold 10.73 million Wii U consoles, which is…not great. For comparison, PlayStation 4 had sold 25.3 million consoles by July 30, and it’s a year younger than the Wii U. But, the company did make a profit in the first half of the year, which it hasn’t been able to do for five years.
Software sales for the Wii U are now at 69.05 million units. In other words, each Wii U owner has about six games to go with their console.
The best-selling Wii U game is Mario Kart 8, with 5.87 million units sold. That means that over 50% of console owners have a copy of the popular racing game. Here’s the complete list of best-sellers for Wii U:
| Wii U Game | Units Sold |
| Mario Kart 8 | 5.87 mil |
