I think next week's hardware sales for the Wii in Japan are going to be back at insane levels. Why? Because of their fall conference.
The announcement of Monster Hunter coming to Wii exclusively coupled with the details on WiiWare (Japanese LOVE downloading games) will drive up sales again. Downloadable Final Fantasy and Pokemon = WIN.
My End of 2008 Hardware Predictions (console only):
Wii : 50 million
360: 28 million
PS3: 24 million
These predictions were made on January 3rd and won't be revised
