Consumers go wild for Wii.

It is being reported that pre-orders in Australia for the Nintendo Wii have reached the 30,000 mark, just days away from launch.

Consumers will be able to get their hands on the console on the 7th of this month, just one day before Europeans get their console.

"We expect demand will outweigh supply and that there will be a few more 'sickies' than usual on Thursday," said Nintendo of Australia spokesperson Vispi Bhopti, speaking to the Herald Sun.

The 30,000 figure is also the amount of Xbox 360's sold in the region in the first four days of launch, which made the Microsoft console the fastest-selling ever for the PAL territory.

Could this be a turning point in a territory that Nintendo seem to be having many problems with? We hope so.
