Pretty colors: U.S. hardware sales for week ending April 29

More colorful pie charts for the win! If last week, we had Japan's numbers and figures, today, we're bringing you the hardware sales of U.S. for the week ending April 29. VGChartz has published the data they've collected, and this week's chart looks like this:

If you're not good at numbers, then let's look at colors. (I luuurve colors!) There are three major color hues we can see here.

1. Yellow for Sony: dark yellow = PS3; light yellow = PSP
2. Green for Nintendo: dark green = DS; light green = Wii
3. Blue for Microsoft: Xbox 360

From the look of things, Nintendo's got quite a firm grasp on the market, while the Xbox 360 on its own (as compared to Nintendo and Sony who both have handhelds) is putting up a good fight. Sony's numbers though are... lower than what could have been expected. But what's to note here is that the numbers have only slightly changed.

If you check for results of the previous week, the pie chart looks almost the same, given a few changes in percent by just two or three notches. And if you check (via the Read link below) the results of the week before that... and the week before that... and the week bef... oh you get the idea.

Point is: things seem to have remained pretty constant. There hasn't been any substantial change in the average recently. Have our consoles and handhelds reached plateauing point? Well, this isn't a market analysis article. We're just reporting the factual data. You guys can do all the market analyzing you want in the comments section below.

You can check out the full charts via our Read link below - it includes not only hardware sales, but software sales as well.
