ELSPA/GFK-ChartTrack figures show that the console broke the record in week ending December 6.
The console’s beaten its own record: it first became the biggest-selling console of all time in the lead-up to Christmas last year.

Wii explodes in UK, PS3 and 360 sell 1 million units in past year
Chart-Track’s confirmed that both PS3 and Xbox 360 have achieved 1 million console sales in the UK in the past year.
According to this GI report, as of September 2008, PS3 has reached 1.4 million units, 360 2.3 million and Wii 3.6 million units.

Wii is the real success story, however – the Nintendo machine has sold 2.5 million units in the past 12 months in Britain, up from 1.1 million units in September 2007.
