If the pattern for Japan last year follows into this year then PS3 sales should still be around the 60k-70k mark. If it goes below that then it will probably mean sales for hardware will be down on the same wee last year. Last week's numbers saw an increase by 4k over the same week last year. So for the first full week it will be very interesting. Last week saw a total of 644k hardware sold which is great. In 2009 it went from 640k to 263k for the first week of january. Which is a 377k decrease or down 59%. I think Japan has a very good chance of starting 2010 up on the same week last year. If it doesn't then it will likely be another bad year in japan for hardware.
