Nintendo President says Wii U sales aren’t bad

iwata-wii-u
Satoru Iwata, President of Nintendo, has come out and made a statement in regards the reports that the Wii U has sold poorly since its launch in November 2012.

Iwata responded to these claims saying;

“At the end of the Christmas season, it wasn’t as though stores in the U.S. had no Wii U left in stock, as it was when Wii was first sold in that popular boom, but sales are not bad, and I feel it’s selling steadily.”

When asked about the confusion of two versions of the console he had this to say;

“It was the first time Nintendo released two models of the game console at the same time … and I believe there was a challenge with balancing this, specifically, inventory levels for the premium, deluxe package was unbalanced as many people wanted that version and couldn’t find it.”

What do you think of Iwata’s comments on this situation? Let us know in the comments section below.
