1.) Nintendo DS Lite - 34,938
2.) XBOX 360 - 25,832
3.) PlayStation 2 - 20,322
4.) Nintendo DS - 19,703
5.) PlayStation Portable - 19,033
6.) Game Boy Advance SP - 3,932
7.) XBOX - 1,841
8.) Game Boy micro - 1,382
9.) GameCube - 91
10.) PlayStation - 16
11.) Game Boy Advance - 7
12.) Nokia N-Gage QD - 5

Sales info leaked from chart-track from a few weeks ago, show a snapshot of the current hardware sales trends in the UK. Like the rest of the world the DS dominates but the original DS is still selling well, were as in the US and Japan, most people opt for the Lite version. The good news for Sony is that the PS seems to be holding its own relative to other hardware sales, and don't seem to have the problems PSP has been having in japan, sales wise.

It also seems that the Gamecube is all but dead, after major chains like GAME have been clearing there stock the last few months, making way for the Wii.

Good news for MS as the Xbox 360, beats the PS2 into second place, remember it will be at least another 3 months till the PS3 arrives here. Xbox 360 sales were most likely boosted by Gears of War which had just launched that week.

you have too remember the price, the xbox360 is about £250-£300, while the ps2 is about £80 now.

It took the PS2 over a year to start out selling the PS1

So true.

I still wonder why Sony doesn't lower the price on the PSP anytime soon instead of releasing new combo packs and wasting time and money.
