It was pretty predictable...

Pretty predictable? One month ago everyone was talking about Wii's doom and that PS3 was doing a comeback...

*Me included* And this is a crow i will delightfully eat!

You seriously thought a month ago after the amazing sales it got all year that it was just gonna die because the PS3 beat it a couple of weeks with a price cut?

If you look at the past weeks sales, it was pretty predictable.

I agree with cool48.

ok, given the numbers of the biggest week of the year what will be in your opinion normal sales level for Japan in Jan-Feb 2008? will PS3 be able to stay over 20k per week or the price drop effect has definitely passed? will the decreasing trend of Wii (experienced in October-November and now probably hidden by the holiday boost) continue after the holiday? and will the sales level of x360 be higher than 3k per week?

With a lower pricepoint and devil may cry bundle I would be surprised if the ps3 doesn't average at least 20k per week from the January-March period.

If it doesn't than it's in serious trouble obviously.

Well PS3 doesn't have that many interesting releases. The drought on my PS3 is extreme and therefore I'm begging for RPG's! As soon as some serious RPG games are hitting the PS3, the WII will get a serious console competition on its tail.
