Japanese hardware cha-ching digits October 16-22
It's that time of the week when sales figures roll in. The figures make us want to kick ourselves in the nads for investing our money in tofu burgers instead of game consoles. Specifically, the DS Lite which is making a lot of Nintendo's stockholders rich. The mini-mega-seller continues to sell like sushi in Japan for the nth week. We're really not counting how long the DS winning streak has been going on. It'll just remind us of how much money we're not making.
Sony's PS2 is still in there along with the PSP at no.2 and 3, respectively, although sales were down by 9.5% (PS2) and 6.17% (PSP). And some good news/bad news for MS. Xbox 360 sales went down by more than 25%. The good news, the sales of its orphaned Xbox was up by a solid 100% moving six units from last week's three.
1. DS Lite: 116,941 (up 11%)
2. PS2: 22,380 (down 9.50%)
3. PSP: 20,271 (down 6.17%)
4. GBA SP: 2,421 (up 5.31%)
5. Game Boy Micro: 1,660 (down 3.15%)
6. Xbox 360: 1,287 (down 26.16%)
7. Gamecube: 638 (down 2.30%)
8. DS Phat: 130 (down 52.38%)
9. GBA: 37 (down 67.57%)
10. Xbox: 6 (up 100.00%)
Now excuse us while we check the tofu sales charts.
