Nintendo have responded to articles like this by stating they are unconcerned and are planning a strong software in the second half of the year to drive hardware sales in Japan. After having outsold the PS3 for 16 consecutive months, I doubt 1 month is cause for concern or representative of Nintendo's long-term position in Japan. Let's judge the state of affairs in Japan once Wii releases pick up, and how PS3 sales hold up to Wii in that situation. Wii Sports Resort, Monster Hunter 3, Punch-Out!! and whatever else Nintendo have up their sleeves should revitalise the Japanese console market.
