I really think Eu shouldn't be counted with "OTHERS" but as themselves like the US and JPN. And then every where else can be "OTHERS". Not sure what to say about JPN status as a main region... but it's sales have been minute compared to other regions.

Haha okay =p. I was not sure about that;..

PS: Love your sig;

In terms of Wii+360+PS3 weekly sales, Japan is lower than UK, France and Germany.

geen prob!

^Oh well, I thought doing slightly over 20k was awful enough. Let's hope Wii Music will spark some more interest in the console, despite the economic downturn. Unemployment is on the rise in the UK right now!

Weren't the Japan numbers usually lower than the other regions? I don't see a reason to get up in arms...yet.

It's not the end of the world either.

Modern societies aren't in the state as they were in 1929 so people need to stop bringing back the specter of people living in the streets and starving...

Some modern countries actually do have unemployment benefits now...

Man everything is low this week, wonder how the holidays will be.

There are already starving homeless people in developed countries. I don't see how the coming recession will make it any better, especially with foreclosures and people defaulting on their debts.

Are these sales lower than we should expect?

The DSi is comming up, which stops DS sales. We know this effects Japan far more than it will in any other country, as Japanese seem to love new SKUs.

The PsP 3000 is comming up, which slows down PsP sales equally to the DS.

The Wii has barely had any major games since April. As Japan is a country where people buy games early, the lack of recent stellar mass appealing software does slow down hardware a lot.

Of course, X360 has a slight increase.

In addition, comparing YoY is highly flawed. The PsP had just had Crisis Core and MGS released for it. This means that the PsP should almost be taken completely out of the picture. The regular sales of it last year, were about equal to the ones this September, and that's considering the PsP is soon getting a new SKU!

And if you do that, you have a less than 10% decrease in hardware. I'd say this is totally steady considering the sole reason for the drop is the DS, which is saturated, and should see greatly increased sales when DSi releases. (According to the data I've seen, it should be back up to pretty much exactly last years levels).
