The UK Wii launch figures are in, with Nintendo shifting 200,000 units in December and 700,000 across Europe as a whole. Perhaps even more impressive were the figures for the DS, with 500,000 sold in the UK alone in December. The DS was the 2006's highest selling console across Europe, with over 1.7million sold. Continuing the stat-fest, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was sold to over 70% of Wii owners, though my guess is that the bowling in Wii Sports is probably the most played Wii game. Forgetting the longer term concerns over the Wii - post Christmas, and Zelda aside, how often do you play solo on the Wii? - these are impressive figures.
