It's about Japan. The bit about trends in Japan being seen later elsewhere only reinforces the fact that this is Japan being talked about....

OK but if it's about Japan the title is very misleading (and I don't mean the thread title, I mean the article title).

Anyway if you're right and it's about Japan, the article isn't a big deal. Even if Japan was as big a market as it used to be, it would still be declining in terms of importance, especially due to the fast growth of the European market.

 

I'm not even sure it is about Japan.  If it is then she has deliberately twisted facts to suit a conclusion she had already reached.  For example she talks about attach rate and the fact that Wii Sports is bundled with Wii so that increases the attach rate.  Well Wii Sports is not bundled in Japan so what the heck is she talking about?
