Pikmin 3 Increasing Wii U sales






















That's 37,000 unit's that wouldn't have been sold in Japan without Pikmin 3, add the European sales and you get 40,000 extra Wii U's sold worldwide (not counting the US sales--which should be pretty good as Pikmin is quite popular here--as we don't have them yet). It may not sound like much, but when you consider how bad the Wii U has been doing and how niche Pikmin is, it's pretty good.
