Nintendo Wii: Wii Launches in Japan; Sells Out!

Nintendo + Japan = Should have pre-ordered this time last year.
Considering the latest buzz, it's no surprise today to learn from reports that all 400,00 Wii console units shipped in Japan on December 2nd sold out within minutes. The Japan based company, Nintendo Co., has been a long-time fixture in the community, especially as of late with the continued popularity of the Nintendo DS. With this announcement also comes the revelation that Nintendo has now sold over 1 million Wii units in only two weeks between America and Japan alone. As you may recall, Nintendo sold over 600,000 units in America in its first week, after shipping 400,000 at launch.

The next stop for Nintendo is Australia and Europe, which still looks to see the Wii for the first time on Dec.7th and 8th respectively.

Do you have a Wii yet?
I'm working on it!
Of course!
I'm waiting for more reviews before I grab one.
I want my PS3 and nothing else!

1 Million shipped. That was very fast. How many are going to Europe. I have pre ordered the second batch because the first is practically sold out inIreland already.
