2009: The Year The Xbox 360 Practically Vanished In Japan [Console Taisen]

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/image...rettynails.jpg Looking back, 2006 and 2007 were awesome years for console sales. 2008 was so-so. 2009? Blergh.
This colorful graph from the TV Tokyo news shows console sales in Japan from 2005 to 2009. Each platform is color coordinated, and there is a color key in the corner. The gray box that reads ??? means "Other".
The numbers on the side start at 2 million and max out at 16 million. Notice the drop off in 2008 and then 2009? Notice anything else?
