Its the fastest selling console release in Europe.. smashing the current holder which was the Dreamcast.
I should know, I just got back from work where there were only a couple left for preorder pickups. We are now taking preorders for the next batch we get in!!!!

It doesn't include pre-orders mate it is just those who went in and bought it... 55,000 cubes were pre-ordered 70,000 reached the UK... see.

Ok, i'm confused.... :S
500,000 GameCubes arrived in Europe in time for the launch, and apparently, 50,000 came to the UK (or just England) alone.
And also, 50,000 Cubes were apparently pre-ordered here in the UK before launch, and yet on launch day, we've heard of how one or two people have been able to just walk into a shop and pick one up WITHOUT having pre-ordered! This doesn't make sense!!
How can they sell more Cubes on launch day than the amount that was sent to this country????
Did some idiotic people decide to suddenly cancel their orders for one reason or another on May 2nd or something????
To me, it just doesn't make sense!
