One million fans go for a WII
Updated on 30 August 2007
Sales of the Nintendo Wii have hit one million to make it the fastest selling console in the UK.
Fans rushed to buy the Wii when it launched in the UK last Christmas.
Sales hit the one million milestone within 38 weeks to make it the fastest selling console ahead of Sony's PlayStation 2, according to Chart Track UK figures.
The Wii has a wireless wand-like remote control which makes it distinct from other consoles on the market.
Nintendo's UK general manager David Yarnton said: "The non-stop demand for Wii even in the traditionally slow sales periods for video games in the UK is clearly behind this record breaking achievement."
The technology giant is trying to attract women and older people to the video games market, which has traditionally been geared towards teenage boys.
