I was going to make a thread just like this!
Beat me to it :(
But yeah, every console has a good game coming out this week, and if we couple it with all the releases from last month and that Obon is coming next week, this week should do wonders for lifting up the pathetic state gaming had been going through in Japan for the last year or so.
SD Gundam G will obviously sell better on the PS2. Made little to no sense to announce it for the Wii, since all the fanbase is on the PS2. Will only manage to sell a few thousand on the Wii. Maybe it's time to move on already from the PS2? Wii has proved with MH3 that big games do sell big, and will prove tomorrow that getting multiplat PS2 games is not what Wii owners want, since almost everyone owns a PS2 in Japan. Stupid move to be honest.
Oh and 360's last "big" game in a while I believe. There's nothing left in terms of Japanese exclusives for it and Gears of War 2 didn't even manage a boost.

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
