The back catalogue isn't removed from sale each year so perhaps it's feasible the image of the 360 has changed enough that people are looking at it as a valid alternative to the PS3 more and more. When you consider all the games that have been released previously and plenty more to come its not that hard to see why the sales have picked up. I doubt the 360 will ever outsell the PS3 for more than the odd week or two this generation but it does make it look like there is at least some improvement in the Japanese publics perception for future "foreign" consoles in the future.
Numbers not great this week, 360 only is impressive now because of poor past performances. Last place is still last place in Japan.
