★ ☆ ✰ ★ ~ Wii U Sales Update 2 ~ ★ ☆ ✰ ★

Welcome to the second weekly Wii U sales update! This is your one stop place for everything Wii U sales, and I do mean everything, but before we start lets go over a few things:

Sales Update Overview
Unlike most sales updates, I use tons of different sources, and when more reliable sources come out, I replace the old sources. Meaning this is probably the most accurate up-to-date sales list around! 
This weeks changes
When reliable data comes out, I will add a (****+) or a (****-) by the figures that will show how much was added or taken away from from the unreliable data (I also use it to show how much the grand total has gone up in the last 7 days).
I have also added a Rank Change for the games that looks like this 000- or 000+

Note: sales figures that have some data from VGChartz and other unreliable places are marked with a *
