June 2^nd, 2003 (12:00am) - Media Create has always been known for delivering the most accurate Japanese Hardware & Software sales charts every week. Often these charts seem to be ruled by the Game Boy Advance and the PlayStation 2 with both performing extremely well on both software and hardware fronts, and seems don’t seem to be changing at all. As for the GameCube and the Xbox, the sales of both consoles seem to be lowering as time passes by, with the Xbox now selling below the 1,000 mark with the PlayStation One surpassing it in sales. As for the GameCube it seems to be slowing down and until the release of a big game like F-Zero it will continue to drop.
