Japanese hardware sales, 29 May - 4 June: How bizarre [Update 1]

Oh, look. It's the weekly Japanese hardware sales chart. Every time I look around, it's in my face. The ranking, according to number of units sold:

- DS Lite: 135,614

149,411 (52.42%)
- PSP: 24,595

2,632 (9.67%)
- PS2: 18,513

1,285 (6.49%)
- GBA SP: 4,364

2288 (34.40%)
- Game Boy Micro: 1,270

743 (36.91%)
- Xbox 360: 1,245

3 (0.24%)
- Phat DS: 1,159

2,967 (71.91%)
-
Gamecube: 798

318 (28.49%)
- Xbox: 43

35 (43.75%)
- GBA: 30

14 (31.81%)

Whether it's a rare planetary alignment or mass hypnosis, something irregular is surely to blame for this weird state of events. Microsoft's consoles are the only ones not to take a sales plunge this week -- even the DS Phat's fall from grace sends it hurtling past the Xbox 360. How bizarre.

[Update: Quite bizarrely, some of the numbers were from last week. Corrected.]
