Don't forget we've got a ~ 12k adjustment for USA figures incoming. That's about 3k/week it was undertracked through February, so you'd hope they'd change their algorithm to take that into account for March. So from 5k/week in NA to 8k/week. With Europe, that'd put it around 16k/week, so if you're predicting it'll drop to 35k next week in Japan, that'd be pretty much spot on. But there's "rest of the world", which last week counted for 8k sales. I still think it'll be a few weeks until we see it at 50k/week (although, depends how steep the drop is in Japan, like you say).
As for making up ground, it'll unfortunately have to be all through the holidays. I think "flat" is a pretty good assessment. Unless there's a steeper price cut than I'm expecting or better 'surprise' games than I'm expecting.
