THE THING IS! 31.2% thought about picking up a 3D set. Thats 1/3. And out of Japans 127.000.000, thats 42.300.000 sales.

As Kotaku wrote themselves "However, 31.2 percent stated they were interested in buying one.

Nearly 9 thousand individuals is certainly a healthy sample. And if 31.2 percent of the entire Japanese population bought new 3D television, that would seem to translate into healthy sales."

The combined Wii sales numbers from the US and Japan isnt even 1/3 of Japans projected pick up in 3D sets. And the Wii is a sales beast.

One out of every third is great concidering what Kowenicki just said. Its expensive, needs extra add ons, no content, no channels. And yet, 1/3 still wants a 3D set. Thats amazing! Imagine when the content is there, when the price drops and the glases are family bundled.

interested in buying =/= plan to or will buy

Also, your math is way off... 1/3 of Japanese households is only about 16 million.  That's less than half the combined JP US Wii userbase.
