    Although specific sale results from the U.S. are unlikely until the usual NPD monthly data next month, Nintendo Canada has revealed the top five selling Wii games in their own territory.

    Unsurprisingly, the best selling game was The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, with some Canadian retailers reporting an almost 1:1 hardware to software sales ratio for the game. The second best selling game was Ubisoft’s exclusive title Red Steel and, in third place, Activision’s WWII shoot ‘em-up Call of Duty 3. Sega’s exclusive Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz was the fourth best selling and Bandai Namco’s PlayStation 2 port Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 was number five.

    In an interview with Canadian website Globeandmail.com, Nintendo Canada market director Pierre-Paul Trepanier indicates that the country saw a 100 percent sell out of the console during it’s launch on November 19th. "We're struggling to try and find a solution to a situation in which demand has far outstripped supply," said Trepanier. "The expectation was that within a few days Nintendo would still be stock everywhere."

    According to Trepanier, every region in North America has been demanding more hardware, with additional nunchuck controllers apparently in particularly short demand in the Atlanta region. "We wanted that to happen eventually, but we haven't even kicked in our TV advertising yet," said Trepanier. "We purposely held back on TV advertising so that we wouldn't be advertising a product that you couldn't find in stores.”

    Although no figures were given, Trepanier also described interest in the Wii’s virtual console as generating “higher than expected traffic". The retro download service saw two TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine titles – Bomberman 93 and Bonk’s Adventure - added to its roster today, after the format went unrepresented in the launch weekend line-up. ...

    Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aime, expects to sell 1 million Wii units to North American consumers by early December.

    Speaking to Reuters, Fils-Aime revealed that Nintendo expects to sell 1 million Wii consoles within the next two to three weeks, and another 1 million by the second week of January. He also added that a life span of four to six years for the Wii would be "just about right."

    "We designed [Wii] from the get-go to be profitable," said Fils-Aime, "so it will be past this weekend and throughout its entire life. Because we're a gaming company, we have to be profitable in the gaming business. It's not like our competitors who can make profit in operating systems or TVs to offset their losses on the gaming side."

    Despite, Reggie Fils’ optimism, retailers and analysts across North America confirm that the hottest selling gaming console this past weekend was the Xbox 360.

    In Canada Microsoft Game Studios was offering a three game deal with a system with a 20GB hard drive and an extra controller at one retailer for $449.99. One of the free games was Gears of War and when that sold out gamers could get the new Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and Xbox Live Arcade: Unplugged.

    Microsoft also dropped the price of several of their Xbox 360 games and peripherals to try and out-market Sony and Nintendo.
    As a result gamers will be hard-pressed to find an Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or a Nintendo Wii on store shelves at least for the rest of this week.
    "Retailers had a great four-day run and pretty much everything is gone. Sony dropped the ball and Nintendo didn't do that much better," said one Great Canadian Superstore electronics store manager who wished to remain anonymous. .

    "They over-promised and under delivered in terms of the quantity of Wii systems that were available. Sony on the other hand warned everyone that supplies would be severely limited. Microsoft was the big winner. They had lots of systems and they had them priced right with game bundles that gamers were interested in." ...

    Nintendo of America has moved quickly to sort out problems experienced by a handful of Wii owners whose consoles were "bricked" by a WiiConnect24 downloadable update.

    The patch, of sorts, appears to have crippled a small number of consoles, and Nintendo's admitted that these will need to be replaced.

    According to a report on IGN, the company has offered to replace consoles within 3-4 business days, although it will take slightly longer (4-10 days) to process consoles where customers want to retrieve stored data (for example, downloaded Virtual Console games).

    Nintendo UK said that it expected the teething problems that have led to the problem to be resolved in time for the console's launch here on 8th December. ...

    A rumor stemming from a quote: "We're not working on HD RIGHT NOW.." has sparked rumors that the Wii could be patched to HD.
    We contacted a Nintendo rep to clarify, and while they said that Nintendo is absolutely not currently announcing any plans to upgrade the maximum resolution from 480p, it shouldn't be impossible in theory.

    The rep noted that Microsoft was able to patch the Xbox 360 to support 1080p.

    After all, continued the rep, Nintendo has already released a patch to allow Wii gamers to transfer game saves to SD cards.

    This could be good news for Wii gamers looking for a sharper image on their HD sets. We'll keep you posted on any official announcements.

    If the 360 can be patched to the 1080p why not the Wii above the 480? It seems like it is an actual possibility..without updating hardware! Cool for Wii owners. ...
