Not the best Golden Week I've ever seen. Indeed, it could well be the worst.

Depressing times all round it seems; but this is about what I expected.

Why? I think it'll fall along into my expectations, a solid (20-50% rise in overall software sales). May be a bit skewed since SAO last week, but SW will certainly be up overall.

Percentage-wise the increases may indeed be roughly the same (though more like 20% than 50%), but looking at the state of Japanese gaming right now, I think a lot of people will be expecting bigger increases then they'll likely get.

I think that's just because people want to make it a Black Friday. People do go out and spend money during Golden Week, but there are also a lot of shops and places closed. It's a catch 22 of sorts.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
