Things Are Hotting Up Over The Pond......
Wii's are flying off shelves still.
Earlier today, Nintendo revealed that they have sold more Wii's in the last two weeks than in any week since the systems initial launch last November.
Nintendo has reportedly sold over 350,000 Wii's last week, during the Thanksgiving holiday, whereas they moved over 300,000 the week prior.
The last time sales were this high in a two week time frame was when the system launched and sold over 600,000 units in its first eight days of release. "I couldn't find a single Wii system on the shelves - literally as I was walking into a Wal-Mart at 11 a.m., someone was walking out with the last one," stated Fils-Aime. "Consumers are buying every game we can put into the system."
Earlier this year, Nintendo predicted that they would sell 17.5 million Wii's before the end of the fiscal year, which ends on March 31. Currently, Nintendo is manufacturing 1.8 million Wii's a month to reach demand worldwide.
