Week's Hardware Sales

DS Lite -- 141,487 units
PSP -- 24,653 units
DS -- 22,478 units
PS2 -- 20,737 units
GBA SP -- 4,642 units
Xbox 360 -- 1,407 units
Game Boy Micro -- 1,294 units
GameCube -- 1,002 units
GBA -- 20 units
Xbox -- 15 units

The XBox sold 15 units. Wow. The 360 is selling more than the Micro and the Gamecube. That's a surprise as well, but not really. The SP outsold the micro in Japan too eh? I'm not surprised. The micro is all gimic, no substance. I mean, it is amazing how small it is. I'm impressed by that, but not enough to buy it and hang it from my keychain. The thing requires all it's own accessories, and doesn't play GB or GBC games. Further, the new SP has the same bright screen, only a little larger, and the SP is still very attractive a design (it looks great next to my DS Lite, like a near match, except the SP lacks the transparent gloss layer).

micro still did better than the original GBA, which I am shocked to see is still being sold. 5 more than the XBox it seems :D.

Also, Brain Age 2, already?!

"Already"? Huh? The first one came out a while ago in Japan...

The fact that GB/GBC game batteries don't seem to last as long as cart batteries (yes, I have some GBC games with dying batteries...) might be a reason why they might want to drop that support... but there is no excuse for getting rid of the link cable port. Making a new GBA and then making it so it cannot be used with the GC link is just such a horrible idea... :(

That's just the last week's sales you know... generally those lists also include year-to-date sales, but you didn't include them here. NSMB's sales total is very impressive for a game that just came out a few weeks ago...

1.6 million? Just in Japan? Wow... I thought it was lower than that, like 800,000 or so...

They should make some sort of Japanese Training DS game.

It sold more than that in its first week...

I wasn't sure if this was the second week or the third...
