I had a long conversation on another forum about Japanese culture in which I was told in no uncertain terms that I was completely wrong and that the Japanese don't have any particular reason to buy more consoles/handhelds during what WE consider Christmas. Regardless of the fact they DO seem to buy more at the same time of year as we do ... The guy just couldn't see passed the fact I'd called it Christmas to the point of him not realising it doesn't matter what the hell causes the increase, it takes place! LOL |
December/New Years is a traditional gift giving season in Japan. It's not that dissimilar to the US market in that respect, except they also have other holidays like Golden Week in spring which can also cause hardware/software bumps.
