Wii breaks UK record

[0098386]

We're always hearing about Japan and the ol' NDP. But how well is the Wii doing in the UK?

The Nintendo Wii has become the UK's fastest-selling home console in history, with 1 million units sold in 38 weeks.

It was 50 weeks before PlayStation 2 hit the 1 million mark, while Xbox 360 took 60 weeks to reach the same target.

The Wii has a 68% share of the UK market now.
On the smaller side of things the DS has a modest 86%.

Someone just got Brain Training 2.

Will this now quiet the Nintendo doomsayers and those who insist that Nintendo purposefully cripples stock?

I wouldn't have thought so!

Tecno-fascism. I'm not buying it.
