DS Wii Cooling off in Japan

[Kenny]

Of course, you have to take it in conjunction with the other story:

The Wii is down in Japan, but up everwhere else, quite substantially in fact, as the link shows. The DS, on the other hand, seems to have passed its peak, as systems tend to do after their second or third years (there used to be a thread about peak years; can anybody dredge up a link to it?). For the Wii's sales downturn, I would back Sqrl's assessment that this seems to be a Japan thing.
