Japan's PC Sales Decline From Year Ago in Week Ended March 17 By Minoru Matsutani and Yoshifumi Takemoto quote.bloomberg.com Tokyo, April 1 (Bloomberg) -- Japan's personal computer sales at large electronics stores fell in the week ended March 17 from a year ago, technology weekly Nikkei Market Access said. Sales fell 15.5 percent by volume and 20.5 percent by value, extending declines that began in May last year, according to figures supplied to Nikkei by private research company Gfk Japan. Japanese companies and consumers are trimming spending on electronics during the country's third recession in a decade. Toshiba Corp., which makes Dynabook notebook computers, said in February it expects domestic computer shipments of 950,000 in the fiscal year ending March 31, down from its earlier 1.1 million target. NEC Corp., Japan's biggest PC maker, said its shipments in the same period will fall by as much as a fifth from the 3.48 million computers it shipped a year earlier. Compared with the previous week, sales fell 4.6 percent by volume and 4.4 percent by value. The average price rose 383 yen ($2.88), or 0.21 percent, to 180,552 yen from 180,169 yen.
