Nintendo buys Japan

Ok, so that headline is a tad misleading. I’ll come out and say that right away. But you have to forgive me for the slight deception, because Nintendo is selling more than 100,000 DS units per week and the Wii is now the prime minister. Ok, it’s not, but wouldn’t that be just the cutest little thing ever?
On a more serious and sane note, the Wii did sell 69,748 units, bringing the year-to-date total to over 1.6 million units.
Here are the full sales figures for the week ending June 3:
DSL: 123,140
Wii: 69,748
PSP: 26,358
PS2: 11,814
PS3: 8,998
Xbox 360: 2,219
GBM: 310
GBASP: 247
GC: 226
DS: 71
GBA: 16
And there is absolutely no truth whatsoever to the rumor I’m starting now that Japanese retailers are offering a free PS3 with every PS2 sold. None at all.

Wow - only 16 Gameboy Advances..
that’s gotta hurt, I’m guessing we do way better on the GBA over here in the states.

bob, the GBA stopped being manufactured quite a few years ago, so 16 is actually pretty impressive for a system that basically doesn’t even exist anymore!
It’s good to see that the PSP is finally beating the GBA micro! Go, PSP!! (I still wouldn’t buy one, though…)

Well technically the GBM and the GBASP count as game boys too which brings it up a bit from 16 to 573 pretty good I think.
What staggers me is that PS2 is outselling PS3. Great system great games must keep them coming back. I guess the $129 price tag makes it a seriously easy buy. We may find people buying a Wii with the PS2 as the nostalgic backup lol.

I think that rumour about the PS3 sales benefiting from being given away is a good rumour. Lets see how long it takes for the rumour to be digged.

Actually, I’m one of those gamers that are thinking about buying a PS2 to go along with my Wii! And it is NOT because of the nostalgic backup: the games coming out for PS2 in its final hour are actually GREAT!
Why can’t developers like Atlus do stuff like Odin’s Sphere on Wii? It would seem like the Wii hardware is better suited for such software…
