    Default Ds Lite Tops Japanese Hardware Sales

    Source - CVG

    Nintendo's newly released DS Lite, or 'diet DS' as it's occasionally termed (Laugh? Our sides almost split), topped the console chart in Japan last week with 68,438 sales - according to figures appearing on Media-Create.
    No doubt jumping up and down in excitement like a very happy pogo-stick which has just won the lottery, Nintendo saw its original fatter DS performing well, as it came in second with a total of 48,119 sales.

    Nintendo's nearest competitor in the handheld market, the PSP, was left staring longingly at DS's backside in third position with 43,100 sales. Sony's PS2 secured fourth place on the console chart, according to Media Create, with sales of 25,778 units; and then there was a significant drop to 5,493 sales with fifth position - which went to GBA SP.

    Looking further down the figures, more titter-worthy news came in the form that in the 'big' console world, while the PS2 won hands down, Nintendo's GameCube managed to outsell Microsoft's Xbox 360. 1,489 units of the former console were shifted in Japan last week compared to 1,240 of the latter say Media Create's figures. Only 101 original Xbox's flew off the shelves, while last place in the top 10 went to the original GBA, which managed a mere 98 sales.
    Just in case you were wondering, Game Boy Micro squeezed into sixth place with 3,213 sales.
