You seem to think the Japanese holiday season starts when the western holiday season starts? Shops in Japan will close on dec 29 this year and stay closed for the following 7 days. However, i believe you hope i'm right and wouldn't mind eating crow if i am:)

Do you have a source for that?  Just genuinely interested.  Because first week of January is normally a big week in Japanese gaming industry where all hardware sales shoot wayyyyy up as people spend their holiday money.  Would be extremely odd to see that not happening this year.

that's because they have a tradition of giving money to children as a new year gift. about a week after new year, the kids spend that money and video games get a boost.
