Wii U has no games on last week’s UK top 40 sales chart
The latest UK sales charts reveal that the Wii U is still struggling when it comes to selling games in the territory. In fact, the Wii U did not have a single game on the top 40 list of best selling games of last week in the UK.
Even when all platforms are counted together, Super Smash Bros was the only Wii U exclusive on the list, thanks to its sales being counted with the 3DS version.
Wii U’s little brother, the 3DS, was doing much better. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D took the top spot, and the 3DS was represented 5 times on the list of 40 best selling games on the individual list.
The best selling multiplatform games list was topped by Call of Duty Advanced Warfare, followed by Evolve and Grand Theft Auto 5. Overall, UK games generated almost £40 million in revenue for the week.
As for publisher rankings, Nintendo came in fifth, behind Take Two (#1), EA (#2), Ubisoft (#3), and Activision #4).

Nintendo and Take-Two shine in a quiet February
In spite of a few big releases this February, the games market is tracking behind last year.
1.4m games were sold last month, representing a seven per cent decline year-on-year. Meanwhile software revenue slipped 1.8 per cent to £39.1m.
Game sales have generally been slow this year, with Evolve and The Order not selling as well as some stores had been hoping for.
It was a big month for Nintendo. The platform holder released two new versions of its 3DS console, and the remake of cult favourite The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask was the single best-selling game of the month. This – andCapcom's Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate – helped the 3DS nearly double its market share in terms of revenue and units sold.
Meanwhile Take-Two tops the publisher rankings thanks to the launch of new IP Evolve and continued strong sales of Grand Theft Auto V.
