is that a joke....sarcasm?

WOAH at wii....I am confident PS3 will outsell it when yakuza 3 comes

 

Nope, for some reason I thought 360 was usually around 2k in Japan, is it usually 8k?

 

 an additional sales of 6000 in a country with a population over 100,000,000 seems like a lot?

 

When that 6000 unit increase is more than 100% so that's a lot.

Did you take a break for 5 months ?

 

Nope, I just don't care about sales in general and happened to glance at it today.  I only ask because I wasn't sure if something big was released I didn't know about.

At this point everyone has to admit that Ninty might be having some difficulties on their home market.
360 seems steady or even climbing, I expect the PS3 to drop down right below 15k and stay there until something worthwhile (for the Japanese) comes out.
DS is surprisingly low, the entire market as a whole seems to be in a steep downwards slope, what's happening in Japan this gen?

Wow Wii is Waaaaay down Yoy

 

Yea and that's probably an under statement.  I mean Wii had Wii Fit last year but still with AC you would have hoped some of the damage from the strong yen would have been alleviated.  Wii is just getting hit very hard by this along with the PSP.  DS and PS3 getting hit hard as well but nothing compared to PSP and especially Wii.  360 seems unphased but that's because it's been hit harder haha.

Monster Hunter will not...........ah forget it can't be bothered anymore. :(

MH3 releases in summer as does DQ 9, this is going to get very ugly for one of them.

I agree with you :)

Well, SF4 came out in Japan today, and in a couple of weeks comes Yakuza 3, so I don't think you will see the PS3 dipping below 15k before 4-5 weeks in the future.

It will be interesting to see how the 360 will do with SF4 coming out though.
