Something momentous has occurred in the world of videogames very, very recently... Oh yeah, that's it, Wii has launched in the UK. And a beaming Nintendo has been quick to inform us that within 12 hours of the console going on sale 50,000 units have been snapped up by punters.
This equates to one unit being sold every second. Well, it's actually 1.157 units but obviously you have to round down.
Nintendo UK's general manager David Yarnton has unsurprisingly said that the company is delighted with "the amazing response to Wii and that people of all ages and gaming experience are embracing the way that we are turning the industry on its head."
"With so many units sold it is great to see that people will be enjoying Wii with their families this Christmas. We are doing everything we can do to meet demand throughout Christmas and the New Year period", he added.
