Wii: breaks 500,000 mark, and beats PS2 record
Nintendo Australia has today announced that the Wii has now become the fastest selling videogame system in Australia to reach the 500,000 mark.
Previously, Sony’s Playstation 2 was the undefeated champion, reaching 500,000 units in 107 weeks. The Wii, however, has cut the previous record by 23 weeks less, meaning it made it to 500,000 units in just 84 weeks since its launch within Australia.
Nintendo Australia claim that the success of the Wii is thanks to its appeal with both gamers and non-gamers. With the console offering titles such as Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii, a broader audience has been adopted during the Wii’s life.
