Some of the slides are hard to translate due to the distance from the screen making the Kanji illegible, but I'll try.

The first image is of the PlayStation 3 User Base as it's distributed across various countries. It appears to be largely European countries listed, but it's phenomenally hard to tell thanks to the distance.

The second image is the breakdown of game industry sales in 2007 in Japan (blue), America (pink), Great Britain (yellow), and PAL territories besides Great Britain (also yellow; the larger wedge). According to the chart, the US market is up 10%, the Japanese market is up 43%, and of course we know from the article that the European market is up 70% overall. It looks like the info at the bottom of that slide is just clarification of various terms like what PAL means.

The third image is a breakdown of hardware sales in 2006 and 2007, and the change between 2006 and 2007 in percentage form (100% would mean no change). They're listed in the order of DS Lite, PSP, Wii, PS2, PS3, and XBOX 360. This is only for Japan, from the looks of it.

The fourth image is an analysis of Wii and DS third-party market share of sales in comparison. From the look of it, the Wii and DS are following almost the exact same pattern, which means that the Wii will likely see a raise in third party sales soon if it continues to follow the DS' trends.

The fifth image is a breakdown of the Nintendo DS user base. It looks like it's being broken down by hardcore gamer versus new and existing "casual" gamer demographics. The blue is the hardcore gamer, the pink is new gamers, and the white is the existing "casual" base.

The sixth image is a breakdown of a survey of PSP users asking how often they played Monster Hunter Portable games on their PSP each week. A lot of them answered "over 50 hours".

The seventh image is an analysis of the penetration of online distribution into the market. The yellow bars measure the number of digital distribution (online) sales, blue is software sales, and red is hardware sales. 2008, 2009 and 2010 are speculative. It appears to be Japan-centric (unsurprisingly; most of this data is).

The eighth and final image is just a summary slide, covering all of the major points of the seminar.
