According to a report by UK-based MCV Interactive Entertainment Weekly, Nintendo UK general manager David Yarnton has recently revealed up-to-date sales totals for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS from three market viewpoints: in the UK, in Europe and globally.

Yarnton claims that the family-friendly console Wii has smashed their sales target for the UK, while the phenomenal Nintendo DS continues to sell like hotcakes - just 60 million units shy of breaking the PlayStation record. According to the exclusive interview featured in a current issue of MCV Weekly, Nintendo UK has sold close to 438,000 units of Wii in the past five months.

Yarnton continued, "ItÂ’s really hard to have targets Â– we have seen unprecedented demand. We set targets originally and we have definitely exceeded those. They are continually being re-assessed all the time." The full list of figures of Wii and DS sales across three viewpoints follows:

DS

Global: 40m
Euro: 11m
UK: 3.1m

Wii

Global: 5.84m
Euro: 1.3m
UK: 438,000
