Weekly sales can be up and down like a rollercoaster. If Microsoft can find more titles that satisfy the Japanese audience they can possibly keep the momentum up, but I doubt it.
Still, at least the installed userbase gets bigger and more asian 3rd parties will get interested.

Doesn't surprise me.
I can imagine that it is the start of the turnaround.
The Wii's high sales are down to clever marketing "oh no! not enough!" tactic when there are plenty gathering dust somewhere in a Nintendo warehouse.
Wii wll most likely be dead by next Christmas.

You need a pretty vivid imagination to think a microsoft console in Japan is going to do better than its homegrown consoles I believe. :)

Wii will still sell well, because Nintendo will continue to bring out interesting software for non-gamers and casual gamers.
PS3 will pick up in Japan as soon as another decent title that meets the Japanese gamers likes comes out, the weekly sales are all about software, after all.
The Japanese market is fickle, though, and while there is a trend for home grown goods, if home grown software appears it won't matter that the console itself is from another country.

Fickle? The japanese market is anything but I think.
I regret buying the Wii so much lately.
With only a few days before Super Mario comes out? But yeah, I haven't bought a game since before Summer.

Hardware-wise.
It tends to be software driven. Maybe fickle wasn't the right word though...
