10% of the UK’s entire population?

Nintendo’s UK Managing Director David Yarnton was pleased with the latest figures; commenting…

“With its inclusive, family friendly and fun nature, we’re very pleased Wii seems to have captured the imagination of over six million families across the UK and reached such a landmark sales figure in such a short space of time. We’ll work even harder to ensure that the interest in Wii stretches over months and years, appealing to people of all ages and gaming experience.”
