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.

It's coming from the people who aren't buying Wii U. Also Wii only managed 12.7 million lifetime and people have the impression that it sold like hotcaakes in Japan. It's probably are-balancing of the Wii/PS3 market much more towards PS4 and away from Wii U.

Obviously how good it is depends on how many units were available, but it's good news anyway.

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


If only a good portion of Sony fans would follow his example

He's not setting a good example at all. Hopefully, no one follows that. Besides, if people are bugged by Sony fans, don't go into a Sony topic, in the Sony forum. Easy to avoid.

How does this compare with other consoles in japan? (PS1, PS2, PS3, wii, wii u, etc.)
