Japanese hardware sales, 12 June - 18 June: Phat's back
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?
