Shows more than 2.5m. By now there are probably more than 2.7m Wii owners.
Damn straight, I saw lots of people getting the WiiFit & Wii bundle deals this week.
Also the CT blurb says 'roughly one in ten' and due to the fact that round numbers sound nice this could be anywhere from 1 in 9 to 1 in 11. So from this 250,000 is a shakey figure that i'd expect it to be around.
Approximating the amount sold by the Value through tills (16.3 million) is also problematic as it assumess that the average price of the game was £70 (trust me, it'll be less than that - depends how the bundle discounts etc. are recorded - could be as low as 65) so 232,142 (the lowest that 16.3 million could by Vs a £70 cost) is also a shakey figure BUT is the minimum copies that the game could have possibly sold based on the available facts.
Combining the roughly 1 in 10 from 2.6 milion and over 232,000 does tend to leave us around the low end of the 250,000 mark. This means that also another 250,000 Wii games were sold this week, which to me is far more astounding. It. Prints. Money.

New system owners & casuals who don't go games shopping all that often.
