I find it incredible that after so much time since release the PS2 is still selling almost 50k units a week in japan..

After reading of MS laying off staff in Japan recently i wonder if they are really that worried about the Japanese market as the box does well in Europe and the US.

The XBox went upto around 4,000 last week when Dino Crisis was released but its now dropped back down, Gamecube sales increased with Vieutiful Joe's release and some promotional pack in japan.

last weeks figures according to gamerfeed:

1) PlayStation 2: 47,200
2) Game Boy Advance SP: 29,100
3) GameCube: 13,900
4) Game Boy Advance: 10,300
5) Xbox: 1,800
6) PSOne: 1000
7) Wonder Swan Color: 350
