Nintendo has released some Wii stats in the UK, claiming that one in three British homes own the console.

 

The independent figures from Chart-Track brought together the number of Wiis sold in the UK and the number of households – according to the 2006 Census, that’s 24.9 million households.

The figures have also concluded some possible sales numbers for the big N in the UK, with 8.3 million Wiis sold and 11 million DS units bought. Chart-Track normally doesn’t provide sales numbers.

The info comes as Nintendo announced which celebs will be fronting its winter ad campaign, with Ant and Dec, Sir Terry Wogan and Jedward – help us, Jebus – plus more, signed up.

There’s more over at EG.

 

So 8.3M Wii and it says 7.09M Wii sold on Vgchartz, you may say that's shipped but 1.3M Wii sitting on shelfs in UK alone is a lot.

It's not shipped, Chart Track does not track "shipped".

It seems Vgchartz has DS at 11M which are correct.  Wii seems low it seems,
