After last month's almost record sales, it seems Japanese console sales have taken a nosedive and are now only selling about half the amount of units as compared to four weeks ago.
The figures, according to Media Create, say that last week's sales were the lowest in months, with the Nintendo DS failing to shift 80,000 units for the week. For the comparable week last month, the DS moved 153,000 units to lead all consoles.
All other hardware sales fell at the same rate with the Wii, PlayStation 3 and PSP all falling over 40 percent.
It is also interesting to note that there have been better selling games this month as compared to last month and so the figures are even more surprising.
Also of note is the fact that despite Microsoft's plans to increase marketing in Japan the Xbox 360 sold a measly 1,286 units for the week.
