So far, the Wii U has sold 9,540,000 units worldwide, which is under half of the 21 million unit sales of the Gamecube. While the Wii U sales pale in comparison of the 3DS family, the home console has a decent attach rate of 5.94 games per console.
Also, apparently Nintendo is planning to take a “more active approach” to character merchandising outside of games. Could we possibly be seeing movies or graphic novels?
