Japanese hardware sales, 28 August - 3 September: verbose edition
As per our fine comrades at the affluent webcomic Penny Arcade, we residing at the fanboy congregated to bestow upon you a post of great vim. Certainly, the readership is quite familiar with the veritable monarchy that the DS Lite has been erecting via its accrued sales numbers; today, the standing ruler has evidently resisted its supplantation. The fact that the DS Lite might even transcend a neoteric console (in its third revision!) is a statement of certain verisimilitude, as we can easily ascertain from the following quantitative analysis:
- DS Lite: 228,939
65,665 (40.22%)
- PSP: 27,499
2,446 (8.17%)
- PS2: 22,703
874 (4.00%)
- GBA SP: 2,751
32 (1.18%)
- Game Boy Micro: 1,791
28 (1.54%)
- Xbox 360: 1,250
53 (4.43%)
- Gamecube: 855
18 (2.15%)
- DS Phat: 320
90 (21.96%)
- GBA: 22
8 (57.14%)
- Xbox: 0
12 (100.00%)
One might even conjecture that the leading candidate was, at one point, an inscrutable conundrum.
