japan sales lift the 360 over 100k this week! who says they don't matter?

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’

Good job PS3, a little longer and you might get above Wii. Based on historical precedent, are the 3DS sales actually meh, or is it just getting overblown?

A few things for this week.
1. The effects of summer are having their way with hardware/software. everything keeps going down for now until bigger game releases, and change of the season to Fall.

2. PS3 had a significant jump in Japan. Looks like Street Fighter IV Arcade edition had some to do with it.

3. Price cuts just around the corner for PS3, and X360. Wii will continue to decrease overall with dispersed weeks of increase until Skyward Sword.

so when are the expected price cuts? what are the rumours? any specific events coming up that may host a price cut announcement?

Sony will likely cut price at Gamescom on Aug 18th ( i think that's the date of that conference) And MS in my opinion will cut price a week after that.
