Following the launch of the Wii across Europe at Midnight last night, Nintendo UK has reported that 50,000 units of the console were sold in just 12 hours.
Nintendo UK has told <i>GamesIndustry.biz</i> it will do everything possible to meet demand for the Wii following suggestions from retailers that many consumers could be left empty handed this Christmas.
Ahead of the European launch of Nintendo's Wii, retailers have told <i>GamesIndustry.biz</i> that consumers without pre-orders are unlikely to secure a unit until the new year.
