DS Lite Worth More than 360 in Japan

Xbox Circle has some crazy news about the great DS vs. Xbox 360 battle in Japan, not that there ever was such a battle. Apparently, stores are buying back used DS Lite systems at a higher price than used Xbox 360s:

The Enterking chain of video/game stores is offering 18,000? ($153 US) for a used DS Lite, which is about $10 more than it's 16,800? MSRP. Even more interesting is that an Xbox 360 console trade-in will only fetch 15,000? ($128), which matches the trade-in worth of a PSP Value Pack and a slim-line Silver PS2.

That settles it -- when I go to Japan next month, I'm bringing back a 360. If only for Blue Dragon.
