Japan	1,285,753	1,256,382	175,813

I am posting this because the effect in Japan will be dramatic and this will truly harm any chances of the PS3 catching the 360. I would suspect the remainder of 2011 in Japan to be 50% of the sales the remainder of 2010.

Console Prediction	Wii	PS3	X360
Japan	600,000	600,000	80,000

I really doubt the disasters are going to effect sales that badly. Check Media Create, PS3 actually increased in sales last week. Yes, sales will be affected but it most likely won't have much of a long term impact.
