6 December 2007 16:42 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

In contrast to the Google "Zeitgeist" results revealed earlier this week that placed the iPhone as globally top, the Nintendo Wii was the most searched for product by UK internet shoppers during November, according to data from internet research firm Hitwise.

There were thirteen as many UK internet searches for "nintendo wii" as there were for "apple ipod", and over twice as many searches for "wii" as for both "ipod" and "iphone", reports NetImperative.

The volume of searches for "nintendo wii" has increased 158% since November 2006, while searches for "wii" have increased by 278%.

The Wii is in short supply again this Christmas, despite Nintendo stating that they are doing everything they can to meet demand.
