Japanese hardware sales: Now with added numerical goodness!

By Ludwig Kietzmann

Several readers suggested last week that,
for the next sales chart update, I should increase the general number of, uh, numbers. Since you all asked so nicely and threatened me so politely, I have done just that.  In addition, I'll post a summary sales chart at the end of each month – I don't want to clutter things up too much in the weekly updates. Right, on to the Japanese hardware sales charts for the week ranging from 10 April to 16 April. The ranking,
according to number of units sold, is a follows:

  • DS Lite: 140,969 13,762
  • Phat DS: 37,204 12,621
  • PS2: 27,549 1,347
  • PSP: 26,340 4,225
  • GBA SP: 6,372  1,161
  • Game Boy Micro: 3,676 573
  • Xbox 360: 1926 14
  • Gamecube: 1,080
    144
  • GBA: 46 64
  • Xbox: 30 16

Lots of mean, red arrows this week.  Just about every platform fared a little worse, with the DS Lite taking the biggest dive. Luckily, all those other platforms will break its fall at the bottom.
