Reasonable on 17 September 2008
The folks getting too excited over this need to add last weeks 360 numbers in Japan to this week and divide by two before getting their hopes up.
It was nice but it was the combination of many factors including being horribly out of stock the week before... quite fun to see but don't expect it to be regular and remember PS3 spikes with games are comfortably above this as is its lead in the region so I wouldn't expect MS to have any real shot at 2nd in Japan.
I will say though that MS are clearly going to throw everything at coming in 2nd or very close 3rd this time around.
Should be an interesting 18 months ahead of us as the next two Decembers (2009 and 2010) are going to be crucial.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
