    Rev UK Wii sales figures revealed

    Nintendo sold almost 438,000 Wii units to eager UK gamers in just five months, smashing targets set by the console manufacturer.

    "We've sold close to 438,000 Wiis in the UK in five months. It's really hard to have targets - we have seen unprecedented demand," Nintendo UK Boss, David Yarnton, told MCV.

    "Yes, we set targets originally and we have definitely exceeded those. They are continually being re-assessed all the time," he said.

    Nintendo's motion-controlled console has remained to be sold out in much of the country as the huge demand continues to outstrip supply. Wii has currently sold 5.84 million units worldwide.

    Meanwhile, DS continues its worldwide storm, souring past 3.1 million in UK alone, and clocking up a colossal 40 million sales worldwide.

    Actually, Nintendo had sold 5.84 million consoles by the end of March. By mid April, it had reached its financial year target of 6 million.

    A month on, and having increased supply slightly (it's selling 100,000 p/w in Japan alone), the figure must be near the 7 million consoles.
