Game sales experienced a rather large increase in Japan last week, even though there was no special occasion/holiday. So what happened here?

The rise can be attributed to three factors. Consumers were spending more prior to a 3 percent increase in consumption tax starting on April 1, many Japanese schools were holding a spring vacation, and gamers were receiving payments from Japanese companies, which usually take place on the 25th of each month.
