Can't conclude anything out of this info other than that there is an unknown amount of people in Japan that want a PS4 at launch.

Home consoles not as dead as we thought?

Or just very limited numbers?

both

Limited numbers in February? lol no.

There might be limited numbers avaliable now because they might still want to put most in Europe

I am surprised they are selling so well (maybe) I didn't think there were actually many Japanese games coming out, just wait for FF XV to come out (we all are....)

best response so far.

Anyway, from my bias ass, hopefully Nintendo can get donkey kong and mario kart 8 out around the same time as the PS4 in japan. Japan is a vital battle ground for Nintendo.

Carry on peeps

I'm quite surprised by this.

The PS3 sold 9.5m lifetime so far in Japan, and comparing to handhelds (DS/GB sold 33m) it's weak, also much less than the PS2 @ 23m. Where is the excitement coming from, is it just front-loaded and what games are these early buyers interested in playing, with PS3 software sales being generally low in the region how is the PS4 going to enjoy sales itself?

I'm confused.

What is your point??? PS4 will be fine in japan just like ps3 was...Handhelds are bigger in japan, doesnt mean there is no place for consoles.

Can you just calm the fuck down? holy shit 3 question marks, it's needed? ffs

You can't say anything negative about Sony without you getting all up and ansy. Here, here's some positive for sony, go read it and chill the fuck out. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=169750&page=1#6

Oh god, not the question marks!

And, still, Sony don´t let us in Brazil pre order the console, mother*uckers... =/

My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Good to hear its so popular at launch though I doubt they have allocated many consoles for Japan.

Probably a mix of front loaded sales and the PS4 likey having plenty (if not majority) of Japanese 3rd party support.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
