Nintendo meets “6 million Wiis sold” goal ahead of schedule

Last year, Nintendo set a goal for itself to sell four million units of their next gen Wii videogame console by the end of 2006. Thanks to high demand and the buzz surrounding the console, Nintendo was able to meet that goal.

Today, we came upon a post on WiiLoaded.com reporting that Nintendo has met their new task of selling six million Wiis by the end of the fiscal year, so of course we wanted to check it out. The fiscal year ends on March 31, 2007, and sure enough, as of this writing, the Wii has already sold about 6.25 million units around the world.

The most number of Wiis sold is in the Americas, with 2.49 million. Japan is in second place with 2 million, and 1.76 million Wiis have been sold to other markets around the world. Here’s the latest image of the figures from sales tracking site VGCharts.org.
