Wii overtakes 360 in UK; DS hits five million

Nintendo shifts two million Wii consoles in UK, DS claims 79 per cent of handheld market

Nintendo UK has revealed an impressive set of console hardware figures, stating that Wii has sold over two million units in the UK and DS now has an installed base of over five million.

Wii was the best selling home console of 2007 in the UK and now has an installed base of over two million units, surpassing the installed base of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 which launched one year earlier. It also claimed a 45 per cent market share in the home console  market.

DS was the top selling console of any kind during 2007, and boasts a 79 per cent handheld console market share. Combined sales of both of Nintendo’s Dr Kawashima Brain Training titles in the UK have now passed two and a half million units and were the top two selling software titles of 2007, while Nintendo’s Touch! Generations range now accounts for 56 per cent of all first party software sold for Nintendo DS in 2007 within the UK.

Great:

And we can calculate from the 5.000.000 DS - units and 79% market share the PSP sale figures:

PSP: 1.329.114

That 79% market share is probably for 2007, not LTD. In that case you can't calculate PSP's LTD from these numbers.

Plus I actually think DS passed 5M during the holidays, but they just mentioned it now whilst talking about the Wii passing 2M. They also mention passing 360, but they past it back in December. I guess it's possible 360 took the lead back for a week or two, though.

Will be interesting who we hear from next; 360 passing 2M, or PS3 passing 1M.

Nevermind looking back at numbers we have about 2 million sold by the end of the year.  So I guess we are doing good tracking for Wii in UK.  

DS truly is a monster
