Well it was bound to happen. Whoever really wanted Halo 3 would have got it on the release day no matter what. I never saw it having much staying power.

Exactly, it was always destined to happen. Unless they can shift a amount of hardware units on par with with Wii in Japan it's never going to improve on sales there. I think it's safe to say the 360 will never be a success in asia, not just Japan. Nintendo on the other hand make big strides in securing new markets like they have done in S Korea.

Probably just like PS3 sales, top in it's first week, & then people who didn't get it on it's first week obviously didn't want one too much.

Anyway, ASH looks like it's doing well, hopefully we'll see some review scores soon to see if the hype was worth it.

Yes, I hope ASH turnes out good, because I laid my eye on it.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!
