I realise that it’s pretty sickening to hear that Amazon was selling Wiis at a rate of 17 per second over the Christmas period elsewhere while most of the UK and Ireland got zilch, but that’s life.
Extrapolate those figures and Amazon sold a staggering 1,020 Wiis a minute, 61,200 an hour and a frightening 1.46m per day. Of course, none of that’s actually true, just a theory because there weren’t that many Wiis out there – anywhere.
Amazon actually said that at peak, the Wiis old at a rate of 17 per second “when they were in stock”. Not too often then.
Other stats showed that Dec 10th was the busiest day with 5.4m purchases and that 99% of Christmas orders shipped on time.
