Nintendo has released new data indicating that Australia is the fastest growing market for Wii U software and hardware.

The data covers the October-December period and is based on year-on-year comparisons. Nintendo notes that during the quarter sales of Wii U games were up in all regions.

“As you can see, the year-on-year comparisons of software sell-through sales in the October-December period show increases in all regions,” said Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. “They especially improved in the US market.

“We can see larger improvements if we make comparisons among Nintendo titles, especially in the overseas markets.”

Wii U software sales were up 200 percent year-on-year over all regions.
