Awesome numbers all round for Japan really. However it keeps with the trend that gaming in Japan is going down.
PS3 sold 1k more last year and if it werent for WKC you have to assume those numbers would of been bad. The question then becomes what will the numbers be in the next few weeks when there is nothing?
360 sales went up by nearly 100% on last year (11k last year). Was there even anything out for it?
Wii dropped from 226k to 141k. Nearly a 100k drop.
All in all i think were about to see Japan crash and burn in the following weeks in terms of its gaming hardware sales.
So they are nice numbers but if you add up the three consoles in total you get 228k. The Wii sold pretty much that on its own this week last year. Not good signs at all.
