Nintendo recently revealed that after the US launch of Wii on November the 19th the system has sold through more than 600,000 units, and that's in just over a week. The maths works that out, at an average of one per second. These superb sales have created a massive Wii market worth over $190 Million.
The word on street across the US was, "if you see one, you’d better buy it".
Top Nintendo chap, Reggie Fils-Aime said, “Even with sales already in excess of 600,000 units, demand continues to exceed supply, as it’s clear this is one of the ‘gotta-have’ products for the holiday season, We’ve shipped retailers several times the amount of hardware the other company was able to deliver for its launch around the same time – and we still sold out. Given the inclusive nature of Wii game play, we’re seeing this new form of video gaming is already a huge hit with gamers and newcomers alike. It continues to be a phenomenal launch.”
The Wii launches here in Europe on the 8th of December.
