PS4 was well ahead YOY in rest of world even before BF deals and you very well aware of that, west regularly receives more titles that are more suited to them than they are suited for Japan. And again, last few weeks sales are basically same around 25k, even we getting closer to holiday season, that doesn't have anything with last year sales. |
I am fully aware of that. But guess what you should be aware of? Up until Q4 ps4 sales in Japan were up a lot YOY in Japan just like the rest of the world.
Playstation hasn't gotten holiday bumps for no reasons in Japan since at lease the PS2 days. It needs price cuts, revisions, big software titles to actually get a boost in November. You know this.

Of Course that 2-3 or more consoles can co-exist on market, but problem with you is that you think they dont effect on sales of each other, of course they affect. They don't need to share same library to effect on each sales, yes they are different, but fact is that most people during one year will buy one console only and in this case they will choose between two consoles and that wasnt case last year in Japan. Like I wrote, "there are people out there in the world, or in this case Japan, that are choosing between the two. If both didn't exist, they would get the one that did. But since they both exist, some people are choosing one or the other". PS4 sales in some way would probably be better in Japan also like in rest world where PS4 is notcible YOY up, if Switch isnt so much popular in Japan, PS4 sales evre year in Japan are better compared to previous like in rest of world only this year in Japan there is chance that PS4 will not be up YOY. Imagine some parent or young man that are not Nintendo fans and want to buy new console in Japan, they can easily choose Switch over PS4 because Switch is so damn popular in Japan and everywhere wants it and they heard that last Zelda and Mario Odyssey are one best games ever and that Splatoon is also very fun and popular game, so its not hard to imagine that some of them will buy Switch instead of PS4 in that case. For 2nd part, its simple, I expalined you why Switch is selling also to people that are not Nintendo fans. We already seeing plenty of people that saying that Switch is their first Nintendo console in long time (in couple of generations) or even first Nintendo console ever. |
He just made a massive effort to highlight to you how Q4 this year is nothing compared to last year and you just brush over it and ignore it.
