The GBA SP continues to be the biggest selling handheld games system in america.

1. PS2 = 253,000
2. GBA = ~180,000
3. PSP = 167,000
4. XBX = 134,000
5. NDS = ~100,000
6. GCN = 53,000

In fact I love the American console list. Despite the Gamecube being 200,000 consoles behind the PS2 it is still selling far better than it is in Japan. And The DS may be selling JUST 100,000 systems but that is still more than it is selling in Japan.

Granted America is a bigger play ground but it is great to see half of my prediction, that the GBA will still be the biggest handheld console in 2005, coming true.

Of course if you want to feel good about consoles sales, all Nintendo consoles combined reach 333,000 systems and the Playstation brand sells 420,000 systems....

That's a lot of systems

Sony develop less games though. They get royalities from each game, granted... but Nintendo make more money from a title they developed internally than a third party release. In fact it is because of Nintendo's software that they make more money than the Sony Playstation department and the Microsoft X-box department. Last time I checked in GamesTM Nintendo are well ahead of the competiton in terms of money made.

And Nintendogs and Pokemon Emerald came out last week.

Money for console manufacturers is made on software though and I'd put money on Sony's roylaties for this week being double that of Nintendo's.

It's also got to be noted that Americans must be stupid to be buying 250k PS2s when it's so old and the 360 is out soon.

Poor Microsoft had better hope it's not a sign of people not wanting their console.
