Information comes from Macquarie Capital analyst Ben Schachter...

- 66,000 units sold
- described as a good performance
- up 45 percent month-over-month
- numbers suggest the Wii U will hit its recently reduced sales targets for the fiscal year
- more than 70 percent of consumer demand is for deluxe edition

"With yet another month of double-digit declines (despite the relatively easier y/y comps in 2012), it remains clear that beyond the most important core titles, the industry as a whole continues to deteriorate. We continue to believe that top AAA titles will remain relatively strong, but everything else in packaged goods will deteriorate ahead of the console transition. We believe gamers are questioning paying top dollar for an average experience (especially for younger demographics),when they are able to get other enjoyable experiences from a free or low-cost app."
