The Japanese Hardware Chart

I wish I could lead off this post with good news that Seaman 2 greased the way for a strong week of PlayStation 2 sales, but, unsurprisingly, it wasn’t much of a hardware mover. Actually, the PlayStation 2 performed almost exactly as it had the week before, besting only the Xbox 360, sales of which dropped some 50% week-to-week. Wii sales continue to slump as Japanese gamers wait desperately for something new and worthwhile to play.

Sorry, it’s really quite a dull week, hardware-wise. So here’s a picture of a bunny with a crimson and black Nintendo DS Lite on its head.

• Nintendo DS Lite – 70,608
• PSP – 58,669
• Wii – 24,932
• PlayStation 3 – 17,130
• PlayStation 2 – 10,281
• Xbox 360 – 3,011
