Reports say that about 700,000 Wii's have been sold in France alone. Recently, the Wii past the big 8 million mark, so you can see what a huge amount went to our Frenchmen. Sources say that this is due to people that have never bought a console before, head to the Wii and people around 35-40 are attracted to the fun system.
Some would argue, but Ninty is pretty much leading all over the world. Germany, UK, you name it. Looks like we have Nintendo revolutions over at France, too - reports say that 700,000 Wii units have been sold in France alone.
Just recently, Wii went past the 8 million mark. Considering that it's been selling strong since then, these numbers are still telling us that a really huge chunk of the consoles in existence went to our fellow French gamers' hands.
The source says that this is thanks to the Wii's appeal to people that never bought consoles before. Men and women of around 35-40 are said to be attracted to the simplicity of the machine. Sales are expected to boon come September when other Wii peripherals arrive.

Go the French!! XD
But still its great for them nonetheless.
Its nice to see that people of all ages are gaming these days. Perhaps now that older people play games, they'll stop bugging us about things in the gaming world and perhaps stop all this rubbish about banning games (( ... that's had a major boom in the past week or so ... ))
Eng: Yes! That's great for the country of France. It's an important thing for the French gamers to have a bit of healthy competition for buying the console (similar to what we had here, maybe?). Long live France!
Anyways I guess this is good news that the Wii is selling pretty good at the moment.
So, wii has sold 8 mill, and PS3 Has sold only 5.5 mill.
So I've heard.
Do you think it is possible the French were actually just tricked into buying it?
"Would you like a wii, madam?" The game clerk asks (in french of course)
and the customer replies, "A Wii?"
"Oui, you say? Tres Bien! Here's your Wii. Merci, Come again."
