It would seem Nintendo are happy with the first week or Sales in the US, while they didn't quite manage to ship the 1 million units they were hoping for, they sold pretty much everything that did ship as well as a hell of a lot of games, most notably The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess which sold over 454,000 copies, meaning more than three quarters of Wii owners have bought the new Zelda game already.

"Even with sales already in excess of 600,000 units, demand continues to exceed supply, as it’s clear this is one of the 'gotta-have’ products for the holiday season," says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "We’ve shipped retailers several times the amount of hardware the other company was able to deliver for its launch around the same time – and we still sold out. Given the inclusive nature of Wii game play, we’re seeing this new form of video gaming is already a huge hit with gamers and newcomers alike. It continues to be a phenomenal launch."

Ten days or so to go until the European launch, got yours pre-ordered yet?
