Wii available in Japan

Posted . By Rob Jones.

Wii went on sale in Japan earlier today. Around 400,000 consoles were available for the launch and a fast sellout is likely. As to be expected, the queues were long.

I have 4 pre xmas orders but am worried I will not get them on the 8th. Does having number 3 and 4 in my local currys stand me in good stead?

I would think that Japan would get more than 400,000 wiis if Japan is where all of Nintendo is. But those people did look pretty happy! GO Wii!
