Not too surprising since it doesn't have any competition...

I think it sold around 150,000 while the PS2 sold around 38,000 or so.(in Japan) I think the factor was the new Pokemon games for the GBA in Japan.

Mega sales!

Hopefully GBA will be the link to the GameCube or something...
The big N should advertising about how the games connect, so parents will notice and buy their kids a Cube or something... could work.
