Default Wii: Record Breaking Launch!
Quote:
Wii sells 105,000 in record-breaking launch
09:00, Dec 12th by Neil Long
Nintendo and ChartTrack have confirmed to MCV this morning that Wii sold 105,000 units over its opening weekend in the UK - and has become the fastest selling home console in chart history.
It is the first time any console has broken the 100,000 mark over an opening weekend, and with handheld DS shifting around 110,000 in the same week, it tops off a bumper week for platform holder Nintendo.

The new format has trumped previous record-holder Microsoft’s launch weekend with Xbox 360, which saw 70,000 units sold.

While retailers remain hopeful that more stock is forthcoming, it seems Nintendo Wii is already off to a flying start.

Great news for Nintendo. Nice to see that the DS is still selling super huge amounts, on a normal week it sells more than a new console O_O. Lets just hope Nintendo can continue to supply Wii's to the UK to meet as much demand as they can before Christmas.
