Nintendo global, UK and Europe sales revealed, as of May 11

According to a report by UK-based MCV Interactive Entertainment Weekly, Nintendo UK general manager David Yarnton has recently revealed up-to-date sales totals for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS from three market viewpoints: in the UK, in Europe and globally.

 

Yarnton claims that the family-friendly console Wii has smashed their sales target for the UK, while the phenomenal Nintendo DS continues to sell like hotcakes – just 60 million units shy of breaking the PlayStation record. According to the exclusive interview featured in a current issue of MCV Weekly, Nintendo UK has sold close to 438,000 units of Wii in the past five months.

Yarnton continued, “ItÂ’s really hard to have targets – we have seen unprecedented demand. We set targets originally and we have definitely exceeded those. They are continually being re-assessed all the time.” The full list of figures of Wii and DS sales across three viewpoints follows:

DS

• Global: 40m
• Euro: 11m
• UK: 3.1m

Wii

• Global: 5.84m
• Euro: 1.3m
• UK: 438,000
