As for the numbers DS still great ,numbers are somewhat more modest than last year (around 100K-130K while last year they were around 180-240K) but still great .Its normal the slowing down ,most people there have one or many Ds right now .. PSP ,very good numbers ,since early december it has sold very well .Games as Metarl Gear Solid Portable Ops ,Tales of the World Radiant Mythology ,Tales of Destiny 2 and Monster Hunter Portable 2 are helping it in a great way .If it could sustain the flood of great games it would manage to keep this numbers .This is the closer it has been to the DS since the DS Lite launch ...while most of last year the gap was 7/1 right now it isnt even 2/1 . Wii ,acceptable numbers ....the problem is that it is falling week after week ...and that means it hasnt found its sales ground .If this trend continues it can see itself in PS3 levels in some weeks .Some games are being released as Eyeshield and Path of Radiance but they arent very well received .....aside from Wiisports and Wiiplay (and the later for the additional pad ) nothing seems to interest too much the japanese in this console .Dont get wrong about the "out of stock " ,it isnt out of stock it just is selling worse both in NA and in Japan ....the "out of stock " thing is pure propaganda yesterday I did read that Nintendo is surprised it cant keep up with the demand in Europe and I have been seeing tons of Wiis in the stores since at least 3 weeks . PS3 .Weak numbers .....33k could be maybe acceptable for a weak week .Some good games as VF5 ,Virtua tennis 3 and Gundam Mussou have been released of late and while two of them grabbed the top spot the numbers arent impressive .Only Gundam Mussou has moved some hardware ,and the big guns (DMC4,MGSIV ,FFXIII ,White Knight Story,Winning Eleven) are still many months away to help the system .Still ,if it could manage to improve a bit its numbers and the Wii falls further it could wait comfortably for the big guns and the price drop to happen .I mean ,the X360 in Japan is a walking dead and if the Wii falls a bit further PS3 and Wii will be about the same numbers for week so it should worry about "gaps widening " and could wait comfortably to its software to mature and its hardware to drop in price . X360 .As I said it is a walking dead .There were a month when all its big guns appeared at Japan (Gears ,Blue Dragon ,Lost Planet ,Idolmaster ..) when it seemed it could do something but it is approaching again the numbers of last year .Even with the PS3 selling very bad with these number it will still put some 110K of difference in Japan in march alone .
