Wii is on course to be UK best seller
According to Chart Track the Wii is on course to pass the one million units mark within the next few weeks making it a bigger success than Nintendo last console the Gamecube with it only selling just over 1 million units in it’s lifespan.
At the moment the Wii is selling 4 times more than the Xbox 360 and a huge 6 times more than the Playstation 3 making it a huge sucess so far for Nintendo.
The reason why the Wii is selling so good could be down to a few things, firstly it’s a new concept in gaming and people want to try it out, secondly it’s the cheapest out of the three major console and finally the Wii has pick up play ability making it easier to just have a few minutes gaming and making it easier for families to enjoying gaming together.
Whether this pace will keep going remains to be seen with two of microsofts big guns getting released withing in the space of the next six weeks and a rumored price cut hitting our shores but i’m so happy for Nintendo as it shows you that there is a lot of life left in this giant.
