Discontinued Wii U Sold in 2023 for Full Price Despite Commercial Failure

An analyst reported that a brand new Wii U was sold in 2023 for the first time since 2022, for its full $299.99 price.

The sale was tracked across most retailers accounting for 97% of the hardware market.

The Wii U is being discontinued by Nintendo, with online services being shut down this year.

The Wii U was a commercial failure for Nintendo, selling only 13.56 million units compared to the Switch's nearly 130 million.

Despite failures, the Wii U had many titles that have been ported to the Switch.
