DS Best Selling Console In Europe
Tom Hopkins 15:12, Tuesday 5 January 2010
Nintendo has stated it's European dominance with the facts on it's two flagship consoles
According to Nintendo there are over 40 million DS handhelds and 20 million Wii consoles in the territory, with the DS becoming the fastest-selling console of all time in Europe.
“There aren't any figures to suggest how many Wii fits have been used more than once”
The Wii meanwhile managed to become the fastest-selling home console in the continent's history, reaching it's install base in little over three years, according to Nintendo. Amazingly, almost half of European Wii owners have a Wii Fit or Wii Fit Plus to go with their console - all 9.6 million of them. There aren't any figures to suggest how many have been used more than once, or what proportion are stuffed away in cupboards, but 9.6m is still pretty impressive.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii has also done well apparently, selling 2.5 million units since its November release.
