Simple 2000: The Japanese Hardware Chart

After some recent wacky Japanese hardware sales misadventures, propelling the PSP to stardom and the Xbox 360 to a high point on sales of Halo 3, things seem to be settling down. The Nintendo DS still rules the roost, with the PSP still going strong, even as Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII works its way down the charts.

This week’s biggest surprise? Another sales surge for the 360, which sold more during the week of October 8 to the 14 than it did during Halo 3’s debut. Wii sales, meanwhile, remain at a low point. This Simple 2000 had me seriously wondering if Media Create has some math errors.

• Nintendo DS Lite – 78,746
• PSP – 59,584
• Wii – 20,575
• PlayStation 3 – 12,365
• PlayStation 2 – 10,181
• Xbox 360 – 6,161
• Game Boy Advance SP – 127
