Japan to be re-named Nintendonia confirmed, in related, South-Korea will be re-named Blizzardardnia.
What i notice most of these so-called "analysis" of Japanese game figures is that they never take into account the habit of the Japanese to actually buy hardware for one game and after they finished that game they actually sell both (game and hardware) on the second hand market. All hardware platforms "suffer" from this.
So it begs the question, how many of those Xbox360's that were bought just for Tales of Vesparia have been sold back into the second hand market and other spike consolesales that can be linked with one specific game. Offcourse, very very hard to find out offcourse.

Well good news for Sony is the healthy PSP sales. PS3 needs some exclusive that makes the Japanese go crazy and quickly.
Hopefully the PSP can stay healthy for a while 'cos it won't be good if sales suddenly plummet.

White Knight Story could very well be the one for Sony also FF13 which will only be on the PS3 in Japan.

That's a very interesting question Optimus, I'll pass it on to Tim and see if we can find out from our Japanese correspondents.
