I'm excited to see the next set of numbers in Japan.

Of course the number will drop, but I'm hoping it stays over 10k and then never go back below 8k for the rest of the year.

 

I laughed.

 

Microsoft do seem to have built some momentum in Japan with some shops selling out of 360's this week as well:

I was expecting a pretty large drop in 360 numbers but the indications are that it won't be so bad, plus the sell out status is probably creating a bit of a buzz.  Not long now for this week's Japan numbers to be posted; I don't think you'll be laughing when you see them.

I forgot that when it sells ~10k for one week that means it will do it for the rest of the year. Thanks for the reminder.

 

I will just point out to Gobias that before the 360 shortage in Japan it was at nearly 6500 a week. It rose week upon week for about 2 months and never went down but always up. There is no reason to think that the 360 will not do 10,000 average when things settle.
