I just noticed that Japanese consumers have purchased VERY few units for each of the consoles/handhelds this week when compared to the N.American and "Other" counter-parts. The only exception was the PSP, which sold less in the "Other" regions than it did in Japan, and not by much.

 Is this a trend that I was just previously unaware of, or is something happening in Japan that is making them wary of purchasing units?
