May 14 - 20th Japan hardware sales

Last week's figures for console sales in Japan are in. Much like last week, DS and Wii conquer all with an iron fist. PS3 again falls short of the 10k mark.

  1. DS Lite - 111,213
  2. Wii - 52,193
  3. PSP - 27,505
  4. PS3 - 8,659
  5. Xbox 360 - 2,026

Is Blue Dragon even out yet? 360 sales are pathetic. I heard that GBA SP sold 2025 units.

Blue dragon is already out in japan. Microsoft thought it would help but it didn't. Go Nintendo! Go Wii.

Little difference from last week, but I'm still rather pleased with the results.

I've actually seen a total of 5 Wiis at 2 Walmarts here in the US, just sitting there. Maybe soon there will be enough Wiis for everybody and the Sony idiots will get off Nintendo's back.

As usual Wii and DS, kickin' butt. I'm sorry to say, but the PS3 is horrible. I think the 360 is hot, but Wii is the best. They just need a couple of more games.

RPGs usually do better in JP than in the ENG regions. It's official, Microsoft should give up on JP. With that in mind, it's pretty much given that SquarEnix may take Blue Dragon to Wii or PS3, and if they were smart, Wii is the way to go now. Sorry MS, stick to FPSs.

Forget the charts! At this rate the words "Playstation" and "Xbox" won't even exist anymore. It's gonna be 5 years until the next "console war". Man, I'm gonna enjoy these 5 years as much as I can.

For crying out loud! Sony should just give up and move to the Wii and forget about the loser, PS3. I mean Kingdom Hearts on Wii would be the best.

Hey, the PS3 and Wii DID NOT come out at the same time. The PS3 came out on Nov 17, 2006 and the Wii came out Nov 19, 2006. Considering a 2 day head start for the PS3, it's doing poorly. The Wii is even catching up to the 360 and the Wii has like 7.6 mil Wiis sold and the 360 like 9.94 mil sold. The 360 came out in 2005, so..

Sniper Veteran, actually, I forget the link but SOMEONE wants the console war to last 10 freaking years! Crazy, right? Yeah, it WOULD be cool though as long as the Wii gets good games.
