Japanese hardware sales, March 3 - March 9: Torch passing edition

Many of you may be startled to see your beloved Japanese hardware sales chart with both a schedule and author irregular. As you may have pieced together from the title, everyone's favorite Chocolate Log-loving South African blogger has tasked this lowly weekend editor with maintaining the sacred stream of statistics in order to scare up some free time to finish writing the ol' novel. Little does he know how easily I become intoxicated when trusted with meager amounts of power.

You may have your precious numbers and accompanying arrows this week, but the steady font of sales figures will only continue should I, with my immeasurable prudence, deem you worthy. As swiftly as I breathed new life into this once-great feature, I can just as easily lower my grim claw from the armrest of my obsidian throne, and relentlessly crush its fragile windpipe.

Keeping this solemn promise in mind, let's get our chart on.

- Wii: 57,068 7,467 (11.57%)
- PSP: 53,924 19,782 (26.84%)
- DS Lite: 48,658 3,264 (6.29%)
- PS3: 21,008 7,488 (55.38%)
- PS2: 10,429 557 (5.07%)
- Xbox 360: 2,891 609 (26.69%)
