Wii U seems to be on the rise after struggling the last few months. Nintendo managed to sell 32,000 units in the UK alone.

Last month the Wii U sold 30,000 and 24,000 before that according to Wii U Daily. However, although the numbers have gone up, its predecessor, the Wii, is still outselling it. In fact, the Wii outsells the Wii U in games 3 to 1.

In the UK the Xbox 360 has sold 5 million this year and PS3 sold 4 million. The Wii U is at a measly 242,000.

Nintendo recently released a trailer showcasing the Wii U's exclusive games coming to the console in the next coming months. These titles are sure to give the console the bump it needs.

The 32 GB Wii U is now $299 after launching at $349 starting Sept. 20. The price drop will also factor into increased sales.
