Stiq Figures, November 12 - 18: Game Gear edition

Welcome to Stiq Figures, where the sales data is after the break and the posts don't matter. Every week, we take a look at, uh, something – meanwhile, the previous week's Japanese hardware sales figures are posted after the jump, and a discussion of said figures takes place in our comments. It may not be conventional, but it's a time-honored Joystiq tradition.

This commercial for Sega's 1991 handheld system, the Game Gear, features actor Ethan Suplee (My Name is Earl) playing a Game Boy with a total lack of enthusiasm. The message in the commercial is pretty clear: Game Boy + dead squirrel = Game Gear.

There are six AA batteries somewhere in that equation for the Game Gear, not that battery life has been a great aspect of Nintendo's more recent portable efforts.
