UK aftermath: Wii is fastest selling console ever

Now that the dust has settled and you UK gamers are in a desert without any body of water in visible sight, we can carefully analyze the numbers from the Wii launch, numbers so huge that they have crushed all other UK numbers into a fine dust, and inform you that the Wii beat all other previous launches in UK history.

If this were a bar fight, the Wii would be holding a flaming chair, while the GameCube would likely hold a broken bottle and the Xbox 360 would be lying on the ground, bleeding and crying its precious little high-def eyes out. See, the Wii sold a total of 105,000 over its launch weekend, beating out the previous holders of the crown in the Xbox 360 and GameCube, which sold 72.000 and 52,000 respectively at launch. Wii FTW!
