Now then taken from the Ninty forum

Brace yourself... The GameCube hardware sales have doubled last week to an amazing number of 37.400 !! That is only one thousand less than the total PS2s sold that same week. Oh and the Xbox is on the 4th spot with only 1.900 units sold.

Not only are the hardware sales thriving in Japan, also the Nintendo software titles are selling like hot cakes! The top 5 of all the software being sold in Japan are games for either the GBA or the GCN.

New in the charts is Biohazard 0 of which almost 200k copies have been sold in just a couple of days.

Hardware:

1. GameBoy Advance - 150,800 (2,313,400)
2. PlayStation 2 - 38,400 (3,101,500)
3. GameCube - 37,400 (923,400)
4. XBox - 1,900 (273,600)
5. PS One - 1,800 (205,900)
6. WonderSwan Crystal - 1,300 (102,500)

Software:

1. Pocket Monsters Sapphire (Nintendo/GBA) - 549,300
2. Pocket Monsters Ruby (Nintendo/GBA) - 543,900
3. Biohazard 0 (Capcom/GC) - 194,900
4. Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation (Banpresto/GBA) - 147,300
5. Mario Party 4 (Nintendo/GC) - 31,600 (291,700)
6. Taiko no Tatsujin (Namco/PS2) - 27,800 128,700
7. Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter (Capcom/PS2) - 23,100 (106,800)
8. Pop n' Music 7 (Konami/PS2) - 20,500
9. DQ Characters: Torneko no Daiboiken 3 (Enix/PS2) - 19,500 (445,600)
10. Zero 4 Champ Series: Drift Champ (Hudson/PS2) - 18,700

I guess Nintendo are doing something right and not a single price cut or console bundle in site. Imagine what the sales figures will be like when a big game like Zelda or Pokemon was release on Gamecube.

150,000 GBA's sold quite literally taketh the piece really.

Xbox seems to be making a come back too, for one week it's actually managed to outsell the PS1 :D

Sales figures do NOT state what the best console actually is all the time.

It's just news people. Would this receive so much hostility if the X-Box was leading?

Can I ask what the hell was the point of posting this? If you really did laugh when you saw this then you are indeed a feeble minded idiot, because if it means anything, it means bad news for you. But it's not even funny either way....

Japan can shove their sales up a monkeys butt for all i care.

Enjoying games is by far more important.

Oi matey was there any need to copy paste my post from the Ninty forum and not add a single word to it?

We know you like spamming, you only have to work that out from all the topics in the Xbox forum that have you as the last poster but this is taking the piece.
