There weren't any Xbox 360 games in the top 50! Thats quite strange really...

Does anyone else think that its strange?

Strange? I think its normal for 360 in Japan. It's abnormal when it does have one in the top 50. And I know it sounds bias but ya know these past few weeks where 360 has done moderately well is not necessarily the norm for MS in the land of the rising sun.

Disaster opens with 13K? Not very good, but within my expected range (although at the bottom of it).

It clearly isn't updated though, as it states the new Pokemon sold 1K only. We should wait before drawing conclusions.

Indeed we do. That's why this is so darn impressive.

It's amazing what Vesperia has done for the 360 in Japan. Only Blue Dragon caused such increased demand if I recall correctly.

Wii sales will explode in 2 weeks. There's nothing stopping them after that. Trust me.
Next year will be record for Wii in Japan.

DS sales will not go down, I'm sure Nintendo will try to clear all the stock they have, and still the DSlite is cheaper.

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.

The current upwards sales trend started a week or two right before Vesperia launch. Sure IU and the price cut helped prolong it tho =)
