Wii U seems to be picking up steam given the holiday discounts. According to Business Insider, Target has announced record-breaking Black Friday sales -- the largest in the company's history. According to Target, the top three selling items were the Apple iPad, the Apple Watch, and the Wii U.

Little is known how this will translate to sales in other stores or November's NPD reports. However, this bump would be a nice swansong for Nintendo's home console before official announcement of Nintendo's next console, the NX.
