If you look at the numbers you´d see ALL consoles in Japan were dropping. And that is because of the lack of games for PS3 and Wii and not because any company just screwed up or something - there was one week the PS2 sold just 9k units in Japan and it is marke leader today. So don´t base your expectations of one slow week for all systems. Everyone should know Wii and PS3 will both have low hardware sales till Super Paper Mario comes out in April - no games, no sales. USA: Lot of people already mentioned it: January was 10 days longer for NPD than february was. So this is 28 vs. 38 days. January: 11.447 Wii´s a day. February: 11.964 Wii´s a day. OMG! Daily Wii numbers increased! :p
