Japanese Hardware sales for the week of December 11th - 17th:
  • DS lite: 319,708 Up 10,078 from last week [3.25%]
  • Wii: 108,237 Up 22,798 from last week [26.68%]
  • PS3: 70,942 Up 20,771 from last week [41.40%]
  • PSP: 48,962 Up 20,032 from last week [69.24%]
  • PS2: 37,730 Up 7,270 from last week [23.87%]
  • Xbox 360: 17,168 Down 18,175 from last week [51.42%]
  • GBA SP: 1,86729 Down from last week [1.53%]
  • Game Boy micro: 1,491 Down 64 from last week [4.12%]
  • Gamecube: 1,152 Up 583 from last week [102.46%]
  • Original DS: 158 Down 9 from last week [5.39%]
  • GBA: 42 Up 25 from last week [147.06%]
  • Xbox: 3 Down 3 from last week [50.00%]
With all these analysts saying "people will opt for an older PS2 if Wii and PS3 supplies are too limited," it sure hasn't happend. To make things clearer: Nintendo DS, Wii, and PS3 have been selling out completely so those system numbers could be higher if supply was more plentiful.

Nintendo was hopeful to sell about 2 million DS lites this holiday season, but with these numbers, it may end up being 2.5-3 million.

Is anyone suprised by these figures?
