Many of you may be startled to see your beloved Japanese hardware sales chart with both a schedule and author irregular. As you may have pieced together from the title, everyone's favorite Chocolate Log-loving South African blogger has tasked this lowly weekend editor with maintaining the sacred stream of statistics in order to scare up some free time to finish writing the ol' novel. Little does he know how easily I become intoxicated when trusted with meager amounts of power.You may have your precious numbers and accompanying arrows this week, but the steady font of sales figures will only continue should I, with my immeasurable prudence, deem you worthy. As swiftly as I breathed new life into this once-great feature, I can just as easily lower my grim claw from the armrest of my obsidian throne, and relentlessly crush its fragile windpipe.
Keeping this solemn promise in mind, let's get our chart on.
- Wii: 57,068
7,467 (11.57%)- PSP: 53,924
19,782 (26.84%)- DS Lite: 48,658
3,264 (6.29%)- PS3: 21,008
7,488 (55.38%) - PS2: 10,429
557 (5.07%)- Xbox 360: 2,891
609 (26.69%)[Source: Media Create]

As for the chart itself, I wish we had seen the past few weeks' so that I would know what the deal is with the PSP vs. DS. Has the DS been dethroned?

Well at least the next-gen consoles are on the up.

On topic, though, I expected the up 'n' down nature of things to show themselves before this. Testament to the PSP's climb upwards, or to just how much money the DS can print?
This is the same in Europe.
And Sony beat them out in the US for two straight months. Sure, it wasn't by much...but things aren't looking so good for Redmond now are they?

Seriously though. Fuck you Frank
oh wait.
Shitbox360 isn't gonna have a hot year and teh 360 not gonna sell so many consoles.
Wahhhhh....
You know what that means Frank? It means the consumer wins.
I'm enjoying my system of choice and you are enjoying your system of choice. I'm not going to get into the arguement of what Sony says/does vs. Microsoft says/does.
Oh, and who are you to tell us how to spend our money?
playwhutyalike, there are about as many asses as customers or gamers playing each console, there are no more asses with PS3 then there are on Xbox, you only have to log into Live to find that out.
Doooooooooom!
*scary ghost noises*
Doooooooooom!

Still, " PS3: 21,008 ^ 7,488 (55.38%)", I guess you can finally walk into a store and find one. I'm quite happy to see the increase.

Don't tell me you seriously think the PS3 is lagging behind for any other reason than the fact that people just don't want it.
Alls well that ends well...

Do you always have something stupid to say?
How come every time this happens, "certain people" cleverly forget the weeks prior?
