"Microsoft told Wall St it's reconciled to the fact the seven-year-old Windows XP will occupy more of the client revenue mix than Microsoft would have preferred, while revenue for the full year will grow less than the year just closed. With the 'wow' clearly failing to materialize in fiscal 2007, Microsoft was left to pronounce itself 'broadly happy' - not blown away - with Windows Vista sales."

I think you need to also realise is that each Wii sold made a profit for Nintendo - they didn't go on a massive loss making spree which Sony and Microsoft went on.
Also, from the above data, one could argue that Playstation 3 biggest competition is actually Playstation 2.
Regarding Japan - it will be interesting to see what Sony is offering to their own market versus the rest of the world, it would also be interesting to know the level of tariffs and a number of other issues as well - anyone who has ever looked at the Japanese economy will tell you that calling it a 'free and open' market would be an insult to Adam Smith.
