Xbox360 is doing fairly well considering how hard it is to find. The mystery in all of that is the GBA. I keep hearing how that system should be discontinued, but it sells very well for a dead system. FFIV probably helped though.

As did the new backlit GBAs. There were lots of people that bought those to replace non-backlit ones.

So Nintendo moved almost 400K hardware units last month. Man, they do suck!

Yeah, the GBA sales befuddle me. I guess being cheaper helps...but I'd think people would rather get the DS and be able to play all the great DS games and ALL the GBA games.

Many of the average consumer are not even aware that the DS plays GBA games. I am continually amazed at the number of people that have asked me what the bottom slot is for.
