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

No one said anything about quality, it's just good to know the console you own is a sucess. Mainly because it will in the long run effect how likely developers are to release games on your system.

Firstly... WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!
The fact is that, in Japan and the rest of the world, PS2 sales are so far ahead of the competition that nothing will catch up. Most Japanese games stores don't sell any Xbox stuff, and only a few more sell GC gear.
Oh, and outside Japan, the Xbox is slightly ahead of the cube - ahead by a fair (but not large) margin in America and almost identical in Europe.
Not that any of matters. Why should sales demonstrate quality? Is Will Young better than David Bowie?

The first number is weekly sales, X-box is doing awful as usual but few realize how awful it is. It needs 36,000 more in a week to overtake nintendo and that won't happen... think of it this way, the x-box is selling about 2,000 more in America (weekly), under 1,000 more in Europe but underselling over 35,000 in Japan... In other words Nintendo are selling about 33,000 more consoles a week...
Now is the X-box still beating the Gamecube?

Sorry, i've already got a coffee table.
I really can't believe how well the GBA is doing!!! I suppose it could be down to the GBA Platinum, Metroid Fusion, and the Pokemon Series.. but still.. omg!

All very well saying that, but what games would I buy?
Not much on the XBOX that appeals...
