After a few years of solid playing, we finally managed to collect all the Shines in Super Mario Sunshine. Upon doing so, the Japanese sales chart for the week ranging from 13 March to 19 March was spectacularly displayed on the screen amidst an explosion of flashing pixels and poorly animated Toad sprites. We didn't feel a bunch of numbers was an adequate reward for surviving all those precarious platforms, but we thought we'd share them just the same. The ranking, according to number of units sold, is a follows:
DS Lite: 104,452
Final Fantasy XII Machine: 66,670
Phat DS: 32,105
PSP: 31,848
GBA SP: 4,290
GB Micro: 3,087
Gamecube: 1,318
Xbox 360: 1,039
GBA: 131
Xbox: 108
If you're still waiting for your import DS Lite to arrive, take note that there are now an additional 104,452 targets people to blame for that particular situation. Nintendo's redesign is literally flying off shelves and hitting people in the head, as it's just about 4,000 short of selling as many units as everything else combined. Our old friend the Phat is also doing well, eclipsed only by its sexier sibling and a Playstation 2 sales surge brought on by the release of a little game called Final Fantasy XII.
