I posted these numbers on theSource's Japan preview, but I thought it's worthy of its own thread. Adding up the weekly numbers for all consoles, Wii+360+PS3+PS2:
NA = 492k
Others = 292k (UK = 73k)
Japan = 111k
These numbers kind of shocked me at how bad the market in Japan has gotten. The UK could beat Japan soon. Holiday sales could literally swallow Japan.
Right now Japan only represents 13% of the global market. With holiday sales, it could very well drop to below 10% of the global market, as Japan doesn't celebrate as much as the rest of the world.
