i know with the dollar this weak they should be in heaven.

Hardly since America is their biggest market, a weakening dollar is more a stone tied to their neck. They buy their parts and produce their consoles in Taiwan, China etc. and get paid in dollar. Not exactly a winner. Game designers in the States are a plus though.

 

yes and no...

You have to remember that with a weak dollar, when someone in the U.S. buys a products from a Japanese company like Sony or Nintendo, they convert that dollar to the yen, and therefore their dollar is converted into more yen than it would be if it were strong.
