I cannot see what all the fuss is about with the japanese numbers. The numbers show that wii is selling at around 2.5 to 1 against the PS3 which itself is gone down over recent weeks. I only concern would have been if the wii had no real killer software out in the next 3 months especially in Japan, but this is not the case at all. But this is not the case, In my estimation nintendo have timed it perfectly with regards to maintaining momentum for the console. They are coming out of the wii sports phase and entering the mario galaxy, wii fit and ssbb phase over the next couple of months. I think as a strategy is very good. Maintain cycles of momentum and enthusiasm and hence keep the console in the public conciousness over an extended period of months and years.
The problem for the PS3 is that it has gotten more bad than good press especially outside of the inner core gaming community. And will hope to start building momentum some time next year but this is a dangerous strategy.
360 in terms of planning for momentum is somewhere in between. They will use the halo 3 experience for all its worth, but in terms of maintaining its positive run, next year again is an important one for the 360.
