The Wii and the portable gaming devices dominate the video gamemarkets in Japan in terms of lifetime sales.
At the moment PS3 is having a rally with a few recent new good games and to a lesser degree X360 has improved significantly over the course of the year in the Japan region. Wii is flat around that 18 to 25k weekly sales but that can improve with some new game releases due out soon on Wii.
In comparison to the rest of the world per capita Japan is not a high selling nation for video game consoles. Japan population around 150 million. USA has the biggest market because its 300 million help notch up some big console, portable and video game sales. USA is the not the biggest in terms of per capita (average video games and consoles sold per person). UK has around one third population of Japan, one fifth the population of the USA. UK has the highest video game/console sales in the world per capita.
USA, UK, Europe and Japan make most of the video games in the world for consoles, PC and portables.
Despite the whole world in economic crisis the console and video game sales still seem to sell reasonably throughout the world and gamers still get treated to good games on all platforms.
