A. If the 360 is lucky, it'll level off at numbers that keep it competitive to the PS3, but I don't see it surpassing it every week.

Seconded. I want to hear this.

A. it depends on how much buzz Tales of Vesperia and infinite undiscovery will create, word of mouth can be a very powerful tool

C) This will be the last 10K+ week for the 360 in Japan, and there will probably be only two 5K+ weeks afterward.

It went down one week from 30k to 14k...Next week I guess it will have maximum around 8k... so I go with C.

Nah. Like all non-dominant consoles in japan, the 360 will flatline except for certain releases.

Well PES 09 should put up great numbers for ps3 in JP, Then THere is Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 which is releaseing around the same time as Dynasty Warriors 6 last year and we all know that was the month the ps3 beat the wii in Japan. Little Big Planet Will Be Huge come october, Resistance 2 can do over 100k, and of course WKC launches Christmas dya just in time for the Japanes Holiday.

Cross Edge is a mashup RPG that I believe releases this week but I'm not sure sales would be good.

I'm gonna go with A. I expect 360 sales to be a great deal better than they used to be, but not up to 10k every week, although I admit the possibility is there. Who knows, if Microsoft keep catering to Japanese audiences, 360 may well be constantly over the 10k or even 15k line in a year's time. Also possible, but unlikely.

until ps3 and wii get a price cut in japan, a ps3 price cut there is very likely. so 10k for 360 consistenly? doubt it.

Option A. I think that 10k will now be an average 'high' week, as opposed to a 3k high week.

And PS3 games will increase PS3 sales, but that has no bearing on 360 sales (maybe a few hundred units).
