... the harder they fall. The Japanese population's brief rekindling of their romance with the DS Phat, showing a massive 1559% increase in sales last week, seems to have died out for now. Our obese friend takes the sharpest fall this week, with slimmer, trimmer machines like the Game Boy Micro and DS Lite faring better. The ranking, according to number of units sold:- DS Lite: 157,022
15,535 (10.98%)- PS2: 25,467
4,730 (22.81%)- PSP: 24,737
84 (0.34%)- DS Phat: 10,132
12,616 (55.46%)- GBA SP: 3,784
858 (18.48%)- Game Boy Micro: 1,502
208 (16.07%)- Gamecube: 1,197
195 (19.46%)- Xbox 360: 1,169
238 (16.92%)- GBA: 25
5 (25.00%)- Xbox: 10
5 (33.33%)The rest of the chart seems intentionally unremarkable, with the Lite reigning on top and the spinless Xbox sweeping the ground floor. Very soon, it will be expected to clean up the explosion of confetti and glitter accompanying the launch of the Noble Pink DS Lite.
