    Buried within the details of Nintendo's recently announced second quarter earnings for 2015 it was revealed that the Wii U has now sold 10.73 million units. While this will be a small consolation to the bean counters at Nintendo (after all the original Wii has sold a whopping 101 million units to date), it is significant as we can finally say the humble Wii U has outsold Sega's ill-dated Dreamcast

    which only managed to shift 10.6 million units before it was put out to pasture.

    Of course, it's taken Nintendo a lot longer to get there - the Dreamcast achieved its sales total in only 18 months before the plug was pulled. Thankfully Nintendo saved for a rainy day during the prosperous Wii/DS era and has been able to keep the Wii U ticking over for just shy of 3 years, despite the stagnant sales.

    The Dreamcast was Sega's final throw of the hardware dice and the reasons for its failure were many. A lack of third party support didn't help, and the company's over-reliance on arcade conversions also put off those who had grown up with the deeper, more involving games of the PlayStation and N64 era. Poor support of online services was another black mark, as was the lack of a DVD drive

    something that the PlayStation 2 boasted, and helped Sony's machine get under millions of TV sets the world over. The combination of all these factors certainly pulled the console down, but like the Wii U, that's not to say that the system was a complete failure. It was blessed with many amazing games - just like Nintendo's console - and is undoubtedly a hardware classic.

    With Nintendo's move into mobile gaming next year starting with Miitomo and the launch of the Nintendo NX platform, it's highly likely the Wii U will be sent off to bed in late 2016. If the projection of another 3.4 million unit sales is achieved during the next year we might well see the Wii U's lifespan end up being closer to 15 million units sold.

    I thought Nintendo's next consoles would be the Wii U Ultra and the Nintendo 4DS.

    Yeah it took awhile, I love Wii u but sadly its short life along with Wii short life and also cube dying before Xbox and ps2 has finally taught me to never buy a Nintendo home console launch day again. Love all the systems but now I know to wait on that price drop. I never owned a dreamcast but it birthed game franchises that will forever be dear to my heart. Jet set radio,space channel5,shenmue

    Can't say the same for Wii u. Love lots of the games but the cast games I mentioned imprinted on my soul. Wii u is great tho, and I support it to the end. What exclusives it has made it well worth the launch day price. I should've waited the year and got wind wake gamepad bundle tho

    Now is the time to get one there so many games I have about 90 games and I've played every single one they're all fantastic it's one of the few videogame consoles that focused on fun factor not graphics and for its time graphically it was one of the best system still you can get one for a decent price with some games I recommend it highly !

    Despite the Dreamcast being a low console seller, I would rather play that over the PS2. I have more memories of the Dreamcast as opposed to the PS2, which happens to be my least favorite Sony home console. Then again, I've always held Nintendo and SEGA in high regard.

    The PS2 is Sony's most classic console IMHO Silent K, with a fantastic selection of games :)
