Sony tends to get bigger bumps following the actual Christmas holiday as people who received money buy a PS4, that in conjunction with the PS4 2 game deal it caused it to be elevated compared to prior weeks with the same bundle deal.

Yeah, but that happened the same a year ago as always, and PS4 did not sell more than 100k, that was my point. It's already discussed it could a bunch of factors, but still, i found it surprising.

Found it surprising as well, I think it bodes well for the PS4 once it gets its price cut.  Hopefully they don't announce it too late for it to matter.  I believe they will cut the price once the discless Xbox one is released if I were a betting man.

As a side note, I feel that, if you're a Japanese developer you can't be too happy with overall hardware sales in Japan...5.99M units sold is still the 3rd worse in the past 17 years (from posted data on Resetera, its probably longer) and I don't believe that the Switch will offset declines in from the PS4/3DS/Vita etc in 2019.  Mobile is an actual crutch for the industry.
