Yes, even with KH III and RE2...and this is a very disturbing signal for Japan. Switch, with KH III and RE2 would have sold much much more units; this is how Japan has sadly turned, let me explain better; These games should push more hardware, and the fact they are not boosting that much is because Japan do not care about home consoles, but only portable from Nintendo. This is not denigrating Nintendo Switch, of course, It's a note for Japan, and many of them are missing out on a fantastic gaming experience, and the situation seems irreversible. It is not PS4 doing bad in Japan, it's Japan which seems to be so close minded and even capable of ignoring a very good console like XBox, because IT IS a good console. This is only my thought and perception, so please respect it. |
That's fine. The PS4 situation in Japan is likely more of a cultural/socioeconomic situation than anything. Japan is different compared to the US, obviously, in that department and they tend to put their focus on different aspects of technology accordingly. The Switch is thriving thanks to the portability aspect of the console, plus the fact it has the type of games that keeps the momentum going even compared to the Vita, which had a pretty good life, despite losing to the 3DS by a significant margin, in Japan, all things considered.
But you could also say people in Europe are missing out on some of the best Nintendo games that they have developed in recent years as the Switch audience in Europe are still lagging behind compared to Japan and NA. Things just happen. There are a multitude of factors that affect a console's sales projections in a certain region.
