I think we can all congratulate Microsoft for significantly improving its performance in Japan. But seriously articles like this don't really achieve that. If anything they make 360 in Japan a laughing stock when they try to make a big deal about this sort of sales lift. Especially when it is doing worse than this time last year: during the whole of October 360 never went below 6K in 2008. This October it spent most of its time around 3K.
360 will have the occasional spike when it sells more than PS3 and Wii in a single week. But any hope that 360 will stay in touch with PS3 is now gone. It is a bit sad that people are still trying to talk it up this way. Accept that 360 has achieved a personal best but has still fallen a long way short of creating a substantial market and pray that it can do even better with the nextbox.
