It almost looks like 360 totals are shrinking. Are people returning them to shops?
I believe Famitsu had a significantly (well, a few ten thousand) higher number for 360.

There are small discrepancies to the numbers that GAF members sum up every week. Xbox360 differ by 1 unit for example :p
 
I think we already talked about this but anyway, GC should be ~3.9m and all GBAs a little more than 15m.

I want to know PS1 lifetime sales in Japan...you know, not Asia global shipments, I want to see if PS2 will outsell it or not...

Actually these numbers are exactly the same as the ones from next-gen.biz.

From MC April 17 thread:

I should also post what Next Gen says the LTD's for each console/handheld are, although are a few are a bit off from what I have.

PS2: 19,208,840
GBA: 8,822,044
DS: 6,414,722 (I have 6,414,725)
GBASP: 5,793,250
GC: 4,137,238
PSP: 3,292,355 (I have 3,292,361)
DS Lite: 827,737 (I have the same)
GBM: 477,766 (I have 477,165)
Xbox: 475,200
Xbox 360: 107,855 (I have 107,856)



At least they're close enough and will fill in the blanks of the years 2000 and 2001 that cvxfreak didn't have.

EDIT: I don't know the ones without a bolded note.

If those are correct, we have GC numbers etc as well. I have the same numbers as Fuzzy though.

Yes. Apparently Media Create sent out their latest totals in time for the new fiscal year, and Next Gen as well as a Japanese magazine picked up on it.

For example, their GBASP total makes tons of sense because my source for 2003's numbers were rounded, so over time a difference showed up.

Ok, so if people in Japan aren't buying any games on PSP, and they're not buying any movies on PSP, what are they buying the system for?

Ripping media to the memory stick? Emulation? Having pretty things?

EDIT - Why must you hurt me, DM?

To play their emulated Nintendo games.
