Wii phenomenon is growing, with Nintendo proudly announcing that it has now reached 1 million units sold in the UK. The console reached the milestone in 38 weeks, making it the fastest selling home console.

In comparison, Sony's golden PS2 reached the same mark in 50 weeks, while Microsoft's Xbox 360 reached it in 60 weeks.

Nintendo's UK boss David Yarnton is naturally quite pleased with this achievement, "The non-stop demand for Wii even in the traditionally slow sales periods for videogames in the UK is clearly behind this record-breaking achievement."
