Be interesting to see how quickly it drops off.

Doesn’t seem to be dropping off at all, tbh. It’s been consistently high since the redesigned hardware came out, which is quite a while now. Maybe there’s hope for the PS3 in Japan yet! ;-)

Monster Hunter sales are starting to drop back a bit now. It’s only a matter of time.
