Have to sale PS3,PSP and Wii numbers are horendous year over year all posting over 40% drops. The story of Japan wether people want to admit it or not is that the 360 is now doing much better while the others are doing much worse.

Wii is the only platform that had a horrendous drop. It sold less than PS3 did last year, and even that was far from spectacular. You really can't put DS and PSP in the same bracket. Wii sold 3 (!) times less than it did last year.
