99.8 million Wiis and counting!

Big jump from 99.3!

Nintendo revealed this official figure from their shareholder meeting thingy so it was a little further along than we thought.

Almost there now! Just a little more! :)

99.3 million Wiis and counting!

After nearly 3 weeks here's the third milestone of Wiis sold as we try to reach our goal of 100 million! The other day I saw the Wii Mini feature prominently on some store shelves with a 99 Euro price tag. The box itself carries the appropriate notices about the absence of older features such as GameCube compatibility and Internet connectivity. I wonder if it'll get released in the U.S. or Japan?

99.2 million Wiis and counting!

After about two weeks we reach the next milestone from 99.1! We're still nearly new in our count towards 100 million. During that time the Wii Mini got released in Ireland (it comes in a tiny box. Try not to blink when you scan the shelves) along with some new entries in the Nintendo Selects Range. That should help!

99.1 Million Wiis and counting!

Let's do a countdown! Countdowns are exciting and 100 million is a nice round number to count to. I'll be using vgchartz.com, the site that's famously known among forum posters for immediately becoming "unreliable" when the Wii first passed the Xbox 360 in sales.

This first post serves as an introduction and it'll have the label "100 million Wii countdown". I'll be making a new post for every 100 thousand sold, rooting for the Wii to break the 100 million benchmark. Watch this space for more!
