Nintendo sold 1M 3DSes and 470K Wii U consoles last quarter

Nintendo reported better-than-expected financial results for the first quarter of its fiscal 2016 today, and it credits both the 3DS and Wii U for that.

The gaming company revealed that it has sold 1.01 million 3DSes and 470,000 Wii U systems during the three-month period from April through June. And both consoles also had a strong quarter in terms of software. 3DS game sales surpassed 7.92 million units while Wii U did 4.55 million. That’s a hugely impressive number for Wii U considering just 10 million have bought the console while 3DS has sales of more than 50 million.
