That MK bundle really can't come soon enough; this will be close to a repeat of last year's holidays when the Wii U suddely spiked around 1300% after lying at bottom levels for many weeks.
PS4 selling twice as much with nothing but the holiday boost in the worst market for home consoles says something anyway; especially given that the PS4 is actually performing very poorly with 10k in November, the PS3 sold around 57k in the same week but with Dynasty Warriors 6 to help it, it still sold 17k the week before that as well, even with big games coming; I can't see the PS4 selling any impressive numbers lifetime in Japan.
Japan is a terrible market now, these numbers just make me sad and they seem intent on becoming the world's first mobile only nation, or something close to that at least.
I wonder what the 3DS can pull off in Japan this holiday; I wouldn't be surprised if almost 40% of the 3DS global figures came out of Japan for November and December. It's still pretty much flat yoy, even with the N3DS and last year, there was Pocket Monsters in week 5 and Monster Hunter 4 in week 9 to drive sales, now we have Monster Hunter 4G in week 3 and Smash in week 9/10 plus the new model and it still falls in the best market. I think I'm right in thinking that the N3DS won't really have that much impact on the 3DS lifetime sales when all is said and done and the new model(s) are bound to have a smaller effect in NA and especially Europe.
Xbox One sold five times as much as the 360 though! Amazing! 
PS3 still hanging on, not exactly wild numbers but quite good for a console in its 9th holiday season in the worst major home console market, and more surprisingly; still roughly on par with the Wii U.
