One in three homes with Wiis, and more with a DS owner.

Nintendo have announced that based on Chart Track (UK) sales figures, one in three households owns a Nintendo Wii. 8.3 million consoles in total have been sold across the UK. The one in three figure is based on National Statistics figures that show there are around 25 million households in the UK.

The Wii launched in Europe just short of four years ago, on December 8, 2006.

Figures released by Nintendo also show that Nintendo DS is even more widespread, with 11 million households containing at least one DS owner.

I wonder how Greg feels about this report?

So that's why sales are slumping - there's literally nobody left to sell the things to.

Nintendo probably sees this as "Two out of three households don't have a Wii" and will find some way to sell it to those people.
