Japan is more important than some Sony fans seem to believe.. If PS3 numbers plunge back down to 10k or less like last year, and 360 goes back to selling PS3 in America like usual, 360 will likely be selling PS3 worldwide again, as I don't think Europe would be able to offset the balance. Japan is a major factor in keeping PS3 sales above 360 WW and if they start to lose sales in Japan we could go back to seeing similar trends to last year.
