Japanese hardware sale chart - Sept. 4 - 10, the war in percentages
Well, look how the mighty have fallen. The Nintendo DS Lite, which is the PSP's biggest competitor, saw a 50-percent decline in hardware sales last week. Never mind sales numbers ... who cares about those anyway? It's all about percentages, baby.
The PSP surged on with a six-percent jump in sales that can most likely be attributed to Tales of Phantasia Full Voice Edition's total domination in the software sales chart.
- DS Lite: 113,831
115,108 (50.28%)
- PSP: 29,141
1,642 (5.97%)
- PS2: 19,882
2,821 (12.43%)
- GBA SP: 2,104
647 (23.52%)
- Game Boy Micro: 1,801
10 (0.56%)
- Xbox 360: 1,094
156 (12.48%)
- DS Phat: 1,058
738 (230.63%)
- Gamecube: 696
159 (18.60%)
- GBA: 13
9 (40.91%)
- Xbox: 5
5 (infinite%)
- Wii: 0
0 (0%)
The PSP needs to keep looking in its rear-view mirror, however, because the DS Phat also saw a big spike in its percentages with a whopping 230-percent increase. But, I expect this to be short lived due to its "teh suck."
Also, look at how crappy the Wii is selling. Hah hah, it's being outsold by the original Xbox and hasn't even sold a single unit! Those percentages look pretty bad.
