So it is not doing too bad compared to the mobile guys. Even though that is world wide and this is just for japan. I am sure software totals are pretty huge in japan, and the bundles are probably well over 200 dollars US.

Not too bad? Total Mobile has crushed dedicated gaming including ps3, wii, psp, vita, 3ds etc

In 2012, the Japanese market was:

- $5.1 billion for mobile games overall  - $2.7 billion for smartphone games
- $4.6 billion for traditional games hardware + software divided in $1.8 billion in hardware in  and $2.8 billion in software
