Gosh. Not a very impressive week for Japan.

Starting with the hardware - it's the healthiest, but that's really not healthy for 3DS. Didn't it have a Monster Hunter LE console bundle this week? I thought it was a lock for 100k+ a week since MonHun and Pokemon came; but it hasn't been. Maybe my expectations were just too high.

Vita is... alright. At least it's found a stable floor by the looks of it, as long as there's a niche release or two a week. Still not healthy, but given how it was doing last year (this was the 4k week last year just before the new colours released) it's... an improvement, I guess.

Wii-U. There was obviously gonna be a drop this week, but I wasn't expecting quite so big. I'd have thought there would still be some pent up demand the following week. Taiko & Mario should boost it back up a bit and I'm expecting them both to have legs.

Software wise... wow. I don't think Akiba's Trip numbers are very good because it's basically showing 0 growth over the PSP version. At least the Vita version did better (+ digital) I suppose. Exstetra has done horribly, by every stretch of the imagination. Those 3DS numbers are abysmal and Vita really isn't any better.

Those baseball games are showing impressive legs though. I guess that's quite good.

Considering Vita had 0 of biggest ip in Japan 20k is really good if Vita get one day Fnal Fantasy,Kingdom Heart,Metal Gear Solid it'will do 50k every week.
