The first sales figures for the Wii U have been revealed stating that Nintendo sold 400,000 units of its new console in its debut week in the US.
"Wii U is essentially sold out of retail and we are doing our best to continually replenish stock," Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime said in an interview with CNET. "Retailers are also doing their best to get the product to store shelves. But as soon as product hits retail, they're selling out immediately."
