Well..... on the other hand, that's good news for Nintendo and Sony who get most of their money from other countries, right?

What? This is exports from Japan to other countries.

It's terrible news for Sony and most other Japanese exporters. It's not that bad for Nintendo since they're just a gaming company, not affected by low electronics demand.

PS: I just checked and the drop was 35% in December (I suppose year-on-year as well):
