Thursday 3-Dec-2009 10:41 AM Wii storms past 6 million sales in less than three years
Nintendo has managed to flog over 6 million Wii consoles in under three years on the humble little island of the UK alone, making it the fastest-selling home console in UK history.
The landmark figure was cracked last week - ending November 28 - just under three years since the console launched on December 8, 2006.
Nintendo UK's big boss man, David Yarnton, said: "With its inclusive, family-friendly and fun nature, we're very pleased Wii seems to have captured the imagination of over six million families across the UK and reached such a landmark sales figure in such a short space of time. We'll work even harder to ensure that the interest in Wii stretches over months and years, appealing to people of all ages and gaming experience."
