Japanese Hardware Sales
Just FYI since some people are curious about this sort of thing. Please hold-off on console bashing.

"Nintendo reclaimed its spot atop the Japanese hardware sales charts this week, driven by a long awaited second shipment of GameBoy Advance SP units. Sales of Nintendo's redesigned handheld outsold the PlayStation 2 at a ratio of nearly 2:1. Also noteworthy in this week's statistics is the continued disappointment of Microsoft's Xbox, which was outsold by Sony's PSone console. For reference, all associated sales figures have been compiled by Japanese research agency Media Create. Below are sales figures reflecting activity from March 17 - March 23, followed by cumulative year-to-date sales. "
GameBoy Advance SP - 101,500 (454,100)
PlayStation 2 - 56,700 (878,900)
GameBoy Advance - 20,900 (750,300)
GameCube - 9,400 (197,000)
PSone - 1,400 (31,100)
Xbox - 1,200 (46,000)
WonderSwan Crystal – 700 (16,200)
GameBoy Color - 380 (9,100)
Wonderswan Color - 370 (9,600)

Wow... I thought Xbox was experiencing a rise in Japanese sales after the whole DOA Volleyball release...
They're still releasing/selling GBC? Isn't GBA regular almost the same price?

BTW this is not a console bash. ouch. that must have really hurt.
I have declared myself to be more of a nintendo fanboy but I don't see what the big deal is about the SP outselling the PS2 I would hope that it would. It is a "new" console compared with an older one and are only the statistics for one week. I guess it just solidifies the iron grip that Nintendo has on the handheld market.

Its the same as the upcoming Wario Ware game coming in April in the US.
Too hard to explain this game, but IGN did a preview of it.
