[Only registered users can see links. ], a popular online store over in the UK sold out if its entire stock of Wii Fit in just one day. All sales were pre-orders as the hotly anticipated Nintendo creation is not scheduled to be released in the UK until April 25th. The ensuing pre-order demand overwhelmed the online retailer, and Gian Luzo, the head of games at the online store has thsi to say regarding the surge:

“People continually look for new and fun ways to stay in shape and it’s fantastic to see exergames in big demand. Wii Fit is going to be huge – let’s hope that we can keep up with demand. We are expecting more stock before launch.”

So UK gamers who did not get in on the pre-order feeding frenzy can take heart that they will get another chance very soon . If the sales of the Wii Fit in Japan (1 million sold in a month) are any indication of its expected popularity, some of you may miss out if you don’t take advantage of this the next time pre-order becomes available.
