I'm not sure if I believe this bit -

Quote:

A spokesman for Nintendo UK denied that the company was witholding supply to boost interest.

"The video games market is a fiercely competitive one and it is not in our interest to withhold stock from anyone," he said.

But this is quite interesting -

Microsoft and Nintendo have not released weekly sales figures for their consoles.

I'm just Sooo glad I get ours last month - even though it is wrapped up for Christmas

Quick question... If I buy A Wii from Portugal, will it work in the UK? My sister lives out there and has got her hands on one to send me. Apart from a new plug, will it need anything else?
Does anyone know if the language on screen will be in Portuguese, and if so, can these be changed?

But it will only have a European plug I hear you cry? Well they kindly threw in an adapter that covers more than just Europe for free.

Took around a week to arrive and I have tested it and it's working well. Then it was put away until the 25th December...

Bob, did you have to do anything else to it apart from use a plug adaptor? I'm just wondering if the onscreen menus will be in English or a foreign language?

No the first thing you have to do when you switch it on is select your language

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to sell the Wii. I am waiting to see if my boss wants to buy it but if not my Nintendo Wii will be for sale tomorrow - PM for details

I have the console with Sports pack and Sonic. Also have extra wiimote and nunchuck.

They aren't selling for much more than what I paid now, i'd rather sell it local to someone i can meet to cut out all the delivery costs etc.
