Sales of games consoles drop 42% in Japan - PS3 Wii DS all dropping

Tough times ahead for video game console makers in Japan as sales of hardware drop to almost 50%.

PS3 - 33,190 last week 59,612 down 26,422
PSP - 29,806 last week 28,757 up 1,049
Wii - 21,291 last week 56,547 down 35,256

PS2 - 1629 last week 2547 down 918

PSP sales would have been even higher but for stock shortages.
