Demand for the console has outstripped that for Sony's Playstation 3 and Microsoft's XBox 360 - selling about 7.3 million units..........Nintendo has upped the number of Wii consoles it expects to sell in the year to March from 16.5 million to 17.5 million.
Demand has been so high that the Japanese firm has had supply difficulties. It is thought that it will take another year before the firm can ramp up production to meet demand. ]
