Japanese hardware sales, March 10 - March 16: The Great Egg Hunt edition

Translate Into:

Filed under: , , , , , ,


Update: The hunt is complete! Reader GoldenS1104 was the first gumshoe to spot the three eggs (answers can be viewed after the jump, though the eggs have been removed) and will receive an extra special Brush on the upcoming podcast. Congratulations, Golden, and thanks to all who participated!

We're sure that many of you currently lay in a Whopper-fueled stupor, unable to will your appendages to lift themselves off of the ground -- but perhaps we could entice you to jump into action for a worthy reward. You see, hidden inside of three posts over the past two months are tiny Easter eggs, just aching to be found by an avid Joystiq reader. The first person to find all three and leave a comment containing the headlines of the stories where the eggs were located wins a prize more valuable than gold -- a B-B-B-Brush with Fame on the next Joystiq Podcast. We've got hints after the jump -- Let the hunt begin!

Those who haven't set off in a headstrong search for fame and glory know that true happiness comes from knowing what consoles sold the most in Japan last week. No real shockers from this edition -- the handheld market is continuing to boom, with the PSP dominating overall (though the DS is beginning to nip at its heels), and the 360 is selling at N-Gage-esque speeds.

- PSP: 57,651 3,727 (6.91%)
- Wii: 55,845 1,223 (2.14%)
- DS Lite: 53,266 4,608 (9.47%)
- PS3: 14,934 6,074 (28.91%)
- PS2: 9,930 499 (4.78%)
- Xbox 360: 1,744 1,147 (39.67%)
- Cadbury Creme Eggs: 32,441 2,298 (7.08%)
