The Wii and DS are still in their slump due to it being a slow time of the year. It just looks like they're doing worse than the other consoles, because every other console is doing better than normal. The PSP is having an insane spike with the release of a new model, and what is probably its biggest game yet as far as Japan is concerned. The PS3 is up from where it was previously, but in all honestly its earlier sales were pretty catastrophic. The 360... well it seems to be doing as well as usual. =P
Seriously, we have this same discussion every week when Japanese data of any kind is released. I'll join the worried crowd when the Wii isn't selling almost twice as much as the other next-gen consoles combined, or if Super Mario Galaxy and the other first party hits don't seriously improve sales. Remember, it's been a while since the last Wii games Japan cares about.
The PSP is doing incredibly well, no way around it. I was expecting FF7:CC to go down fast, and that the main boost from PSP Slim was shown in last weeks sales, but turns out I was wrong on both. Here I thought the PSP was dead in Japan, but now I find myself pondering if I should get one myself.
