As we creep into middle March, North American sales figures reveal a sluggish start for Wii U in 2013.
According to EuroGamer, the Nintendo Wii U sold around 64,000 in the country in February, a figure akin to the GameCube and original Wii when these consoles were coming to an end of their respective lifespans.
By comparison Microsoft's older Xbox 360 continues to dominate, selling 302,000 units during February.
The weak Wii U figure is an improvement over January's 57,000 figure, but still shows that the hardware is underperforming in all major regions.
March is looking promising however with the release of LEGO City Undercover and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate to settle the brief lack of new Wii U software.
