Wii U sold 120,000 units in France during the first month

Nintendo's new console, Wii U, has started on the right foot in the French market, which has sold nearly 120,000 units in its first month of life, generating 38 million euros for the Japanese company.

Specifically, they have been 118,000 consoles from late November until 31 December. A figure something far from that achieved by its predecessor, which sold 180,000 machines in the same period of time, but also positive for the company and have been quick to point out from Nintendo France. Not surprisingly, says a company representative, "when we launched the previous console Wii, Gamecube, not sold anything today while Wii is still selling very well."

Furthermore, as in other territories, Nintendo has confirmed that the Wii U Premium model has been the best selling by far, capturing 75% of the sales of the console. This is followed with ZombiU the pack with 15% of all consoles sold, and the basic model with only the remaining 10%.

The year 2012 also ended with very good results for the Nintendo 3DS, which has sold 950,000 machines in the Gallic country throughout the year, 23% more than the figure achieved in 2011. Wii, on the other hand, has sold 372,000 units in the same period, representing a decline of about 50%.
