Looks like DS, PS3, Wii, PS2 will be down from 2007 in Japan. PSP and 360 up a bit but nowhere near to offset the losses of the others.
Wii 3.65m to 2.85m or so
PS3 1.25m to 900k or so (I'm betting a decent WKC boost given that it should top 100k week one)
That has to be somehwat alarming for Japanese developers. I suspect PSP2 may become the first system in Japan with a base over 5m to have graphics better than the Wii/GC/Xbox.
