Nintendo doing Wii-ly well in UK
16 Aug 2007 16:30
If the Nintendo Wii were a person, you can bet that it would be glowing pink with pride at the moment.Instead, Nintendo bosses will have to do the blushing, because sales of the ever-popular console are reportedly set to top the magic one million mark in the UK during the next few weeks.
According to Chart-Track, the interactive system is outselling rival consoles the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 every week by ratios of four to one and six to one respectively and as such it looks very likely that a million Wiis will have been bought by the end of next month.
All in all, it's looking rather good for Nintendo at the moment. In the UK game charts, eight out of the top ten titles are exclusively for either the Wii or the DS, while the remaining two are multi format games that can be played on the systems.
Brain Training, More Brain Training, Pokemon Pearl and Cooking Mama on the DS and Mario Party 8 on the Wii are just some of the games helping Nintendo to dominate the charts.
Since it was launched last November, 9.27 million Nintendo Wiis have been sold worldwide.
