With Golden Week over, sales chart reports are finally returning to normal. Hardware sales data from Media Create for the last week of April has been released, showing that the Japanese like to buy things. A lot of things. Over a quarter million Nintendo DS Lites a week, for example.
While there isn't much in the way of earth shattering hardware trends to take note of, it should be noted that the PLAYSTATION 3 and the Game Boy micro saw some gains, pushing their sales over the PlayStation 2 and Game Boy Advance, respectively.
- DS Lite - 255,971
- Wii - 102,522
- PSP - 33,860
- PLAYSTATION 3 12,791
- PlayStation 2 - 12,584
- Xbox 360 - 3,162
- Game Boy micro - 630
- Game Boy Advance SP - 495
Not bad, Nintendo Wii. One of your best weeks all year.
