    Simple 2000: The Japanese Hardware Chart

    Nintendo weekly hardware sales continue to drop as either supply remains constrained or, less likely, a nation of millions realizes they've grown quite tired of housekeeping diaries and scribbling kanji on their touchscreens. Week over week, hardware numbers were down across the board with the exception of the PLAYSTATION 3. The PS3 avoided a dip with a little help from solid sales of Koei's Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War. For the week of August 27th to September 2nd, the hardware wars suffered the following casualties.

    Nintendo DS Lite - 94,339
    Wii - 39,371
    PSP - 22,196
    PLAYSTATION 3 - 18,068
    PlayStation 2 - 14,280
    Xbox 360 - 1,635
    Game Boy micro - 263
    Game Boy Advance SP - 195
