David Yarnton, head of Nintendo UK, has released more detailed information on hardware sales of the Wii and Nintendo DS in Europe and the UK, claiming that targets for Wii sales have already been exceeded by “unprecedented demand”.
Although weekly and monthly sales data is regularly available for Japan and the U.S., respectively, hardware sales data for any format has always been difficult to obtain for Europe. The only consistent source has been console manufacturer’s financial reports, from which these latest figures appear to be derived.
