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

GBA Sales will always keep Nintendo in the money as it's the best handheld on the market. I tell you, Nintendo have got a real monopoly with the GBA and with Pokemon rearing its' ugly head again, sales will rise even further.

Breathe of Fire V?? What happened to III and IV?

Interesting, but it won't be "news" to PS2 owners until the GC can consistently outsell the PS2 as well as the GBA is.

GBA sales are incredible!
