"Record-Breaking Wii U Sales in 2023"

In a surprising turn of events, one brand new Wii U console was sold in the United States in September 2023, marking the first sale of a new Wii U since May 2022. The Wii U, released in 2012 as Nintendo's follow-up to the popular Wii console, struggled to match its predecessor's success and was eventually overshadowed by the Nintendo Switch. The sale of this new Wii U is unusual but not unheard of, as old stock can sometimes be forgotten or overlooked in retail stores. Additionally, three new PS Vitas were also purchased in November 2021, highlighting the nostalgia and appeal of these forgotten consoles finding new homes.
