Ó
The DS Lite still reigns supreme in Japan, munching off around 55.8% of the market. Their half of the pie consists of 600,000 units sold, thus totalling overall DS unit sales (both Lite and Phat) to a whopping 17,152,000 units sold in Japan. The Wii claims the second spot, with 22.7% of total hardware sales.
Around one fifth of the pie is occupied by Sony. Their PSP, PS2, and PS3 are holding steady at 11.1%, 4.8%, and 4.1% respectively. Following Nintendo, Sony's handheld and console units have a firm grasp of the next top three spots. Rounding up the rest of the hardware sales are the Xbox 360 at 1% and the GBA at .2%.

One percent, man the Japanese really hate MS...
yea i wonder if they even have win xp, probably all their comps are linux/mac
They are all XP.
but all their xp's are pirated
that qj hasnt made a artical about the psp phone at mobilementalism .com and at cache.kotaku.com
looks like it is the real deal to...anyway the pie chart is great but i think the wii will be returned when their owner finds out they need more space than whats provided in their apartments. lol
Most Japanese are Windows nuts and run XP. I'm not really sure the specifics of what exactly they like to do with their PCs, but they are usually more casual users so obviously they don't use Linux. And I guess they do things Mac isn't big on
here come the people telling me all Japanese men use their computers to look at little girls in skirts
add up those top 10 software #s. Nintendo is on top there too!
I was going to say the same thing, 8 of the 10 titles are Nintendo, the other two are Sony...
Let's all buy the PSP-phone!
Then we have a max standby time of ~5 hours!
ROFL
We have to stop the filthy jews before they totally ruin Sony!
Yet Xbox 360's software sales are higher than that of PS3. Sounds like the Japanese also really hate the PS3, other than those after a Blu-Ray player
all Japanese men use their computers to look at little girls in skirts.
Asians can be Jews?
Very suprising, considering that the DS Lite launched in March 2006.
I guess there are some jews in asia, even though there is a funny joke about a jew in china asking if there are chinese jews.
The waiter replies no, but if he likes he can serve him orange juice or apple juice. But no chinese juice *g*
I think that the total top 10 sales of Nintendo (1,028,291 units) is much bigger than that of Sony (343,042 units). I think that Nintendo has been the King of top 10 sales since long ago, only replaced by Sony a pair of weeks.
It seems like Japan is the only region where the decision to include blu ray is actually helping the sales.
When the blu ray players are cheap, what will happen to the sales?
FF Tactics: Lion War top sales! Woohoo!
Jews aren't filthy. In fact, they have more money than everyone you know, combined. They may own you, and you probably don't even know it. And they didn't ruin Sony... the Betamax II AKA PS3 killed Sony.
Both of you can go ***** yourself. How about you both go and suck Nintendos *****
