The PS3 jump appears less because it was still falling from the PES boost

X360 boost wasn't too bad, wasn't it about 8-9k last week?

However, with the exception of DS, gaming is dieing in Japan.
Compared to same week last year:

Wii and PS3 are about 60% of 2007

PS2 is about 30%
PSP about 40%

X360 is the only one to improve, but only slightly and it's still not significant.

DS is managing about 90% of last year.

I repeat...

And I wouldn't even say the other consoles got a boost really at all. PS3 and 360 have posted those numbers the past few weeks..the Wii had been posting around 50kish, and suddenly shoots up to over 90k.

DQX boost confirmed! /jk
Good Wii sales. TvC not so good, but reasonable legs after a 15k opening.

Wii 91k? Why? For a long period of time sales were 25-35k.

Holidays are the main reason, however it is possible the DQX announcement may have helped.

End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Check out last year http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=Wii&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS3&reg2=Japan&cons3=X360&reg3=Japan&start=39362&end=39432

That last week is what is equivalent to this 90k week.

It seems a similar picture this year to me, just at a lower level for PS3 and Wii, and slightly higher for X360
