OMG, the Wii is up in Japan, Iwata was right about WSR's long hardware legs!!!

Aren't we forgetting about a little game called MH3, the Black Wii and the HW bundles? Not to mention it was Obon this week in Japan and hence all systems were up. It was definitely not WSR on it's own, in fact I'd say it was the least responsible for this boost.

MH3 and Black Wii caused a huge sales increase two weeks ago, but last week, the effect started to go away as quickly as it came. 

Just look at the graphs. I totally expected 20k sales again, as it was pre-MH3.
