Simple 2000: The Japanese Hardware Chart

OOOH!New Media Create hardware numbers are in and it's nothing but good news! Even the Xbox 360 is up a whopping 18 additional units from the previous week. I'll wait for your mind to stop reeling before I continue.

You okay? Good. Now, while Nintendo DS sales were up, as were Wii numbers for the week of May 21st through the 27th, there was a slight surge all around. Despite little in the way of marquee PlayStation 2 titles, or even a single PLAYSTATION 3 game release, both consoles were up. PS3 can see five-digit weekly sales not too far in the distance!

There is some bad news, though. Look.

  • Nintendo DS Lite - 127,461
  • Wii - 58,644
  • PSP - 26,097
  • PlayStation 2 - 11,311
  • PLAYSTATION 3 - 9,627
  • Xbox 360 - 2,044
  • Game Boy micro - 407
  • Game Boy Advance SP - 288

Yeah, it was a killer week for Game Boy Advance sales. With some bigger Wii and DS releases coming, I expect we'll see a jump in both. That is unless folks start holding out for those new metallic paint jobs.
