8.5k PS4's lol.

Can home consoles recover in Japan?

Snes + Genesis = 21m                                       (27% of sales in Japan)
N64 + PS1 + Saturn = 33m                                (23% of sales in Japan)
Gamecube + PS2 + Dreamcast + Xbox = 30m   (14% of sales in Japan)
PS3 + Wii + 360 = 24.9m                                  (9% of sales in Japan)
PS4 + WiiU + XBO = 12m                                  (7.5% of sales in Japan)

For comparison handhelds:

Gameboy = 32.5m      (27% of sales in Japan)
GBA = 17m                (21% of sales in Japan)
DS+PSP = 53m          (22% of sales in Japan)
3DS + Vita = 30.5m   (33.5% of sales in Japan)

So in recent times, 33% of handhelds sold in Japan, only 7.5% Home Consoles.
