Remember the PS3 days when 25k a week was terrible?

So that's the real reason. It caught me by surprise, but this makes sense.
Glad to see PS4 games finally ranking high.
Wow, even with the circumstances, that PS3 number is surprising.

Sony Announces New PS3 Model CECH-3400C: Hitting Japan on August 28th With Price Cut

PS3News
Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and Asia announced today that it will release a new 500 GB PS3 model with the product code CECH-3400C in Japan.
The launch will happen on August 28th, and the new model will cost 25,980 yen ($253) plus taxes, 2,572 yen (almost 26 bucks) less than its predecessor.
Together with the new launch, the previous models CECH-4200C (500 GB) and CECH-4200B (250 GB) will be discontinued, meaning that the 250 GB version will not be offered anymore.
The differences with the 4200 models have not been disclosed by Sony, so they’re probably negligible, besides the change in wi-fi component that was outed by the recent FCC certification, which means that a future launch in the West is most probable.
A new CUH-11XX PS4 model has also been certified by the FCC at the same time, and with the new PS3 officially outed, we might hear about it soon.

Not really, the PS3 only did a decent amount over 25k once during the post Obon week. That was the week the MHP3 port came out.
And wiiu got an even bigger drop then last year. Expect more 2k weeks this year because it's currently on an almost identical sales path as last year. One would have thought that kart would have kept it from going back down that horrible sales road but unfortunetely, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Predictions for LT console sales:
PS4: 120M
XB1: 70M
WiiU: 14M
3DS: 60M
Vita: 13M
