Lowest numbers for PS3 in Japan after Slim launch last year were 28k... It was before Slim that PS3 dropped as low as 1.5k.

Oh yeah I forgot that!

Well PS3 was at 8K at some point regularly in Japan last year!

And yeah I remember the 1.5K to 100K rise PS3 had, it was like a 999% increase

i'm being at vgchartz for like 4 years now and i didn't realize there was a japonese holiday in early aug.  someone give me a fail graphic quick.

Some software numbers

[PSP] ToPX - 108k
[Wii] Wii Party - 82k/611k
[PS3] Sengoku Basara 3 - 57k/299k
[PSP] Project Diva 2 - 35k/277k
[Wii] Sengoku Basara 3 - 15k/65k

Is the Tales game a remake or something? looks kinda low for a Tales game

http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20100811061/

it's remake of gameboy color tales game.

@darth: Increase was actually over 9500% lol

I don't know where you got that number from, but in Japan in November 2009 the PS3 sold 168.733 units.

Week ending 11/08: 48.925 PS3's
Week ending 11/15: 38.498 PS3's
Week ending 11/22: 34.752 PS3's
Week ending 11/29: 46.558 PS3's

EDIT: I saw this was already mentioned. My bad

You're thinking of 2008 when the PS3 was totally languishing and was even getting regularly beat by the 360 for a couple months. I think that had more to do with the fact that even it's weakest competitor was putting up quite a fight with the price drop, Arcade, and Vesperia stealing all of it's momentum then it had to do with the time of year.

haha you european guys and you're use of a period instead of a comma.
