Sales figures from Japan last week:

1. GameBoy Advance - 150,800
2. PlayStation 2 - 38,400
3. GameCube - 37,400
4. XBox - 1,900
5. PS One - 1,800

The japanese like things to be small, like themselves, so I can only assume the XBOX is losing out due to it's immense size. Following on from reports of "poor" christmas sales, it seems that the GC was just leaving it a week later than everyone else.

It is good to see the XBOX outselling the PS1 though.

Is that yet another dig at a different culture, being of Asian origin myself I find the comment about Japanese people being small also very offensive and I shall be reporting it.

Asian people are statistically smaller than europeans, are you going to report me for stating facts?

Go ahead, make my day.

From what?

If you can't carry on two lines of conversation at your leisure, you have a problem.
