Nintendo Wii sells 6 million, becomes UK's fastest selling console
While it may have been all about PlayStation today, Nintendo has managed to squeeze itself in to the headlines with the announcement that the Wii has become the fastest selling console in UK history.
Chart Track-GfK, which keeps its beady eye on the games and console sales in ol' Blighty, has said that more than 6 million Wiis have been sold since the console went on sale less than three years ago.
The 6 million milestone was hit in the sales week ending 28 November.
Nintendo put its success down to the Wii's "inclusive, family friendly and fun nature" and said it would be working hard to ensure the Wii stays at the top of its game.
It may well need to. Although things have long been peachy for the Wii, even Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata admitted that the console was stalling.
What do you think to the Wii? Show it some love or shoot it down in the comments section below.

I think nintendo need to grow up with the rest of us and give up this stupid and insane idea that people dont want graphics of media flexibility, they just want family fun, dont get me wrong the route they have taken has served them well, but what about the people that stood by nintendo, you know the ones who have had all the new nintendo offerings, who went out and bought the new consoles!! the ones who stood by nintendo only to be let down right at the most exiting part!!!
