As you can see in the picture, 60% of the sales come from Nintendo consoles, being 27% for the Wii U (around 48,6K copies) and 33% for the 3DS (59,4K copies), making a total of 180K for only the North American market. The game still needs to be released in Europe and Japan.

We didn’t have the luck to review the Wii U version, however, feel free to read the 3DS one.
