Despite the massive shortages, sales still broke the record in the UK for fastest selling home console, a title previously held by the Gamecube. The console weren't the only things flying off the shelves, games and accesories both proved popular. A representative of the UK retailer GAME said, "We have sold out almost all of our initial allocation over the weekend, and have seen great sales on games and accessories too." Hopefully all the folks who weren't able to get one will have better luck before the holidays come. To all the folks who did get one, congrats!360 sells out in Europe, breaks UK record
