"After only being on general release in Japan for two weeks, Nintendo has announced that the sequel to Namco-developed bongo game, entitled Donkey Konga Volume 2 (working-title), will be unleashed on Japanese gamers this coming Spring. With the US & UK release of the first game just recently being confirmed, it can only be hoped that we will be treated to the follow-ups as well!" Cubed-3.co.uk

Surely Nintendo can't charge full price for this second helping? Anyways, thought I might as well bung in the Xmas week Jap hardware sales figures. Poor, poor Bill-box. :D

1.) PS2 - 160,100
2.) GBA:SP - 132,400
3.) GC - 95,100
4.) GBA - 23,000
5.) XBOX - 2,400

These are sales over a fixed period. In which case, how will the GC catch up with the PS2 if it sells less every month/week? In fact, the gap between the consoles is becoming BIGGER!
