Japanese hardware sales, Aug. 13 - Aug. 19: Offensive defense edition


Prepare to receive some contradicting memos this week if you're a member of the Nintendo Defense Force. The DS sales chart sandwich has returned, leaving NDF commanders confused as to whether they should attack or defend on the bulletin board battlefields. Simultaneously the best- and worst-selling system of the week, Nintendo's portable wonder demands response tactics that are both celebratory and derogatory.

We'd recommend spinning your impending comment with references to "pincer tactics" and "trash compactors."
