Demon's Souls is doing very, very well.

I hope it holds up well next week.

Intersting. I doubt Wii will reach the Famicom/Playstation family (mainly due to japanese market being bigger and more diluted) and PS3 shall lag just behind the Wii.

PSP has a shot at surpassing GBA what isn't shabby at all.

I wonder if the PS3 will have a year better than the Wii on Japan.

37k isn't too bad for Demon's Souls. I was predicting a complete flop after seeing Ninja Blades recent performance.

Where is 360 hardware numbers?

I didn't expect the Wii 3rd year in Japan to be that much worse than it's second ( which was already worse than the first) but it's slowly shaping to be this way ( I don't see any huge release that would change that trend in the short term).




PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
