Well, this is the most pleasing Japan sales thread I've seen in quite some time!

I'm saddened to see the Wii-U decrease. Although, not entirely surprised. I know this is the big week of console increases over there, but given the drop it had last week, I just couldn't see it really keeping up. I had it pegged as staying about even in sales, so I guess it's not done too bad. But it needs support. With only 3 games scheduled for Q1 and only a couple more announced as in the pipeline, Nintendo need to get announcing something to keep it relevant through Q1-2.  A third iteration of Monster Hunter won't cut it, but Mario & NintendoLand are doing nicely.  Though, I don't think they'll care too much. As long as it picks up in Q3-4, that'll be enough.

Vita increase is also pleasing. I had also pegged it for staying about even, perhaps minor increase. I didn't really have 15k up in mind. Haven't seen it this high since... Miku, lol. Hopefully a taste of things to come in February, though I doubt it'll last after this week.

PS3 and PSP are also really nice. PSP back up to One Piece numbers, PS3 holding steady. Yes, I know it's down YoY etc., but still, for 7 year old home console hardware, I think it's doing alright.

Cursory hat tip to 3DS as usual :)
