These sales make me realise how irrelevant japan is becoming in sales. The highest selling console in Japan, the ds is at 114k. From others and america the lowest is 144k for the psp in others.
I realise america was black friday, and it's getting reasonably close to christmas in others. But still even the PS3 which is compared to other regions stronger in japan, it's sales there are dwarfed by the other regions. The japanese sales don't even make up 10% of most of the consoles.
Handheld wise japan is still doing pretty good but the consoles wow it's bad.
