It was pretty obvious that Japan was where the console war would be over first.

 

Based on the sells that I have been keeping up with, it's over everywhere else, too.

 

I mean "over" as in we know for sure who will be first, second and third. It just happens that in Japan, second and third place are not very far apart.
