Japanese Retail PC sales:

Follow the article threads and you can decode the numbers. Comparison looks good for this week because of the typhoon disruption last year.

Here are the numbers for total PCs, in units of %increase

          Volume     Value          Volume      Value
start     Week-o-w   W-o-W         Year-o-Year  YOY
9/15       +5.5      +5.1          +43.6       +41.6
9/21       +2.6      +3.0          +52.6       +50.8
9/28      -20.8     -20.6          +53.5       +52.2
10/5       -0.5      -1.7           37.6        37.5
10/12      -6.2      -6.4           58.5        57.5

Evidently the market/bond slide put a dent in confidence resulting in a 20% drop that hasn't been recovered.
