Reuters has reported the successful launch of the Nintendo Wii in America, as have AP and hundreds of papers and TV stations.
According to GamesIndustry.biz:
Speaking to Reuters, Fils-Aime predicted that Nintendo will hit the target by early December, and go on to sell another million Wii units by the second week of January. He said that a life span of between four and six years for the console would be "just about right".
Amazon.co.uk says: "You can pre-order your [Wii] at Amazon.co.uk from tomorrow, November 21, during business hours (9am - 5pm GMT). We will stop taking pre-orders once we've pre-sold all the consoles Nintendo has allocated to us for release day. Order early to avoid disappointment!"
