Ya know, they do actually have Christmas in Japan.
Why wouldn't consoles sell more?

They give gifts for the new year, but that generally doesn't ramp up until another 2 weeks or so.  FFXIII week should be the real start of the major shopping season in Japan, though the next two weeks should see a nice rise in everyone's baseline leading up to it (with proportionately bigger bumps for Wii due to software releases).

Actually Japanese Christmas is a very commercial holiday.

However, 99% of the gifts are bought for children, so there's your answer.
