• Game Boy Advance: 43,600 (Annual: 1,510,500)
• GameCube: 17,500 (Annual: 676,400)
• Wonder Swan Crystal: 8,700 (Annual: 48,600)
• Xbox: 5,400 (Annual: 228,500)
• PSOne: 3,400 (Annual: 154,900)

Xbox went up in sales this week by about 3,000 units, and the GameCube actually went down in sales by about 10,000 units. The Playstation 2 and Game Boy Advance continued their strong sales. While the PocketStation only ranked in 6 units.

Wow! Pocketstation sold 6:eek::WHOA:units!:eek::WHOA:
errr....
Yeah.....
Any new games come out for XBox that made it go up? But I'm not surprised 'Cube sales went down. People already bought what they need;)

Cool. I don't think PS2 will ever stop dominating the charts...

Yeah, it probably won't. The race is really for second place right now, between GameCube and Xbox. It seems as though the Dreamcast has disappeared from the chart this week though, sort of odd.

It looks like Murakamo was able to push some XBox's, although not enough to really matter.

You're wrong, it's a race for 3rd. The GBA has taken its position in 2nd place, though with the new flurry of titles, it 'could' (though I doubt it) topple the PS2 (again let me stress this is unlikely :p).

Murakumo and Crazy Taxi 3 came out the same day. Both did pretty well. Murakumo sold 22,000 or there abouts and Crazy Taxi 3 sold about 8500. Murakumo has been pegged as sort of a system seller. Must've helped sales spike just a bit.

I'm hoping the sales pick up once Tekki and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 come out next month.

rather than posting the number of ps2s sold why don't we just post the number of people left in japan who don't own a ps2. It seems like the number would be smaller.


:rolleyes:


how many total ps2s sold in the US btw?

Because the number of people living in Japan is constantly changing and it would be impossible to get an exact number, that is why.

30 million have been shipped world wide. 10 million have been shipped to Japan alone... And the other 20 million are in Canada, US, and Europe....

[whisper]i was joking[/whisper]

What is a pocketstation? Is it like a real mini Playstation??


:confused:

Think of the VMU unit for the DC, but for the PSOne. I think :unsure:

Yep, that's exactly it. I think it's for the Playstation though. Or maybe it is the Playstation 2...

Yeh, for the PSOne (PSX)... It's a shame they only released it in Japan. It was supposed to be released in Europe and the U.S :unsure:...

Week 3: July 28th - August 3rd
 

• PlayStation2: 69,100 (Annual: 2,366,000)
• Game Boy Advance: 50,800 (Annual: 1,561,300)
• GameCube: 13,700 (Annual: 690,100)
• Wonder Swan Crystal: 6,400 (Annual: 55,100)
• Xbox: 3,500 (Annual: 232,100)
• PSOne: 3,400 (Annual: 158,400)
• Wonder Swan Color: 1,200 (Annual: 101,000)
• Game Boy Color: 900 (Annual: 66,300)
• Wonder Swan: 120 (Annual: 5,200)
• Nintendo 64: 80 (Annual: 5,300)
• Game Boy: 70 (Annual: 4,300)
• Dreamcast: 50 (Annual: 17,100)
• PocketStation: 20 (Annual: 1,000)

Sorry this week is a little late, I had a hard time finding the list with all the current X02 news. Dreamcast actually made it back into the chart is 50 units sold. An Xbox went down to 3,500 units sold this week.

PS2 and GBA dominate the charts, as usual. I know there are a lot of good PS2 games but I wonder if those sales will ever go down...I mean, its been selling almost 70,000 units every week.

wow...thats better than most answers I give in school:D

Ouch! XBox is having a hard time beating a dead system in Japan...kinda hurts.

Hehe... ;) You're trying to say X-Box isn't dead yet in Japan?? :D

Dead as in basically no more games being made for it, if any.

I know I know, I was kidding. That's why I used the ;)
