Since the Xbox One reveal, the WiiU has increased from rank 380 to 40th on the videogame sales ranking on Amazon UK due to an 875% sales increase... Nintendo has been having extra trouble in the UK (in fact they have since the Gamecube) so it has been no surprise that sales have been low here. But I why the huge increase after the Xbox Event. Who are the people that were looking at the Xbox event and going "clearly I should buy a WiiU now"? What expectations did they have for the Xbox One, and how is the WiiU fitting those needs?
--Edit-- Just thought I would say that I know that ranking changes and percentages are questionable when they start from a low amount - and so a smaller number of people can buy and seem like a large number - but I am more questionable about the idea behind it at all as to why someone would wait for the Xbox One reveal, then buy a WiiU... all before E3.
