Japanese hardware sales: 22-28 May

We just received the Japanese hardware sales charts for the week ranging from 22 May to 28 May via singing telegram. It took several hours for the song to run its informative course, and yet we still can't manage to get the tune out of our heads. The ranking, according to number of units sold:

• DS Lite: 285,025

  124,843 (77,94%)

• PSP: 27,227

  2,770 (11,33%)
  

• PS2: 19,798

  835 (4,05%)

• GBA SP: 6,652

  478 (7,74%)

• Phat DS: 4,126

  12,741 (75,54%)

• Game Boy Micro: 2,013

  232 (10,33%)

• Xbox 360: 1,242

  161 (11,48%)

• Gamecube: 1,116

  65 (6,18%)

• GBA: 44

  19 (76%)
  

• Xbox: 8

  12 (60%)

As you can see, the DS Lite outsold the PSP more than ten times over, no doubt a fact that will be brought up in countless fanboy arguments in the coming week. The Phat DS continues its sad slide down the charts, content in the fact that it has paved the way for its younger brother's colossal success. There's some sort of profound image in there, but we can't be bothered.
