Filed under: Nintendo DS, Nintendo GameCube, Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PSP, Microsoft Xbox, Microsoft Xbox 360
Quite possibly the only sane thing we've received from Japan this week, the Japanese hardware sales charts show it like it is -- no silly comparisons, half-truths or fuzzy mathematics in sight. The ranking, according to number of units sold:- DS Lite: 141,487
9,460 (7.17%)- PSP: 24,653
2,997 (13.84%)- DS Phat: 22,748
21,377 (1559.23%)- PS2: 20,737
1,756 (9.25%)- GBA SP: 4,642
526 (12.78%)- Xbox 360: 1,407
307 (27.91%)- Game Boy Micro: 1,294
360 (21.77%)- Gamecube: 1,002
41 (4.27%)- GBA: 20
10 (33.33%)- Xbox: 15
5 (25.00%)Aside from the soothing abundance of green, the most noticeable aspect of this week's chart is undoubtedly the DS Phat's performance, indicating either a surge in its popularity or a surge in desperation amongst those who couldn't track down a DS Lite. Perhaps it's time to import a black one from Europe?
