Japanese hardware sales, 14 August - 20 August: impersonate a foreigner edition

In being the insanely hilarious South African blogger that I am, the task of coming up with a refreshingly funny post to present some other foreign country's hardware sales is often a difficult one. Most of the time it's just pure magic that causes such a comical grouping of words to leap from my brain, down through my fingertips and into your inter tubes.

The good thing about living in the "Old World" is that there is still some mysteries, some magic left in the land. Why, I bet you didn't know that our water here doesn't taste like the bland, uninspiring substance that comes in bottles labeled with names like Poland Creek in America, instead offering a much richer, magical flavor.

Honestly, it tastes kind of like butterscotch and caviar. You get used to it.

The ranking, according to number of units sold:

- DS Lite: 74,495 122,224 (62.13%)
- PSP: 41,535 246 (0.60%)
- PS2: 26,833 286 (1.08%)
- GBA SP: 3,823 772 (25.30%)
- Game Boy Micro: 2,266 235 (11.57%)
- Xbox 360: 1,493 289 (24.00%)
- Gamecube: 922 18 (1.91%)
- DS Phat: 712 222 (23.77%)
- GBA: 20 3 (13.04%)
- Xbox: 7 1 (16.67%)

So while I post the numbers again for another week on my magical laptop built from the smiles of children and post it to the interwebs, riding atop my country's national animal, the Flying Hyena, think to yourself about how great it would be to live in a land where there are honest-to-goodness real peppermint waterfalls (I got, like, 3 in my back yard). Post a comment then go visit your travel agent. Tell them you want the "Magical South African Tour."
