The latest Japanese hardware numbers are in, thanks to Bluelight's post on Digital Share forums. As you'll no doubt be aware, this week's statistics are particularly interesting, as both the Xbox 360 console and Mario Kart DS received their first full week of sales. Surprisingly the 360 hardly even scratched competition, despite being a next generation console. More surprisingly, the Gamecube even managed to double the 360's sales. And even MORE surprisingly, the Nintendo DS sold FORTY SEVEN TIMES (47x) more than the 360. Here are the hardware (console) sales:
Nintendo DS - 408,770
PSP - 95,689
PS2 - 55,342
Game Boy Advance SP - 19,098
GameCube - 17,849
Game Boy Micro - 14,432
Xbox360 - 8,623
Game Boy Advance - 416
Xbox - 182
These numbers are represented in a pie chart below:
The release of Mario Kart DS last week has boosted (pun?) Ninty's handheld sales by more than 100,000 units. Taking a look at the handheld, Nintendo verses Sony department, the total numbers are 442716 to 95689 units respectively. Here's how they look when placed into another pie chart:

Well that's a bit of a failure for the 360, guess Japanese gamers are smart enough to to buy any of MS's hype ;)
I'm really surprised at how well the Gamecube is selling, was the sudden boost due to a game release?
FYI, the Gamecube is also outselling the Xbox in the United States.
