Bergsala hit records
The number of installed Wii and DS consoles increased sharply in Norway and the rest of Scandinavia in 2008.
Bergsala beat all previous sales records in Scandinavia in 2008, with over 300,000 sold Wii consoles and 349,000 Nintendo DS.
According to recent figures from Bergsala company sold over 300,000 Wii consoles in the Scandinavian market in 2008. Overall, the number of installed Wii in our corner of the world thus increased to over 530,000 in the past two years.
Bergsala sign at the same time that the Nintendo DS continued the trend as the fastest-selling games of all platforms ifjor. 349,000 consoles were sold during 2008. Together Bergsala has sold 950,000 DS units in Scandinavia.
- There has been an incredible year. As soon as we have received the goods in stock, they have gone straight into the trade. We thought that 2008 would be good, but that we should put as many new records and breaking so many old trends in the gaming world is unique, "says marketing Örjan Johansson in Bergsala.
- The only negative is that the production of Nintendo have not been able to meet the enormous demand in full, continues Johansson. He pulls out, among other things, Wii Fit as a big game Company of successes in 2008.
