I do not think PS4 will do as great in Japan as it did elsewhere in the world. Japan is changing, they had difficulty transitioning to the HD era and never fully took advantage of the capabilities of the PS3, save for Kojima with MGS4. 1 single or a few graphical beasts from the entire Japanese industry in the entire 7th gen is crazy considering Naughty Dog made 3 graphical beasts themselves in the span of 4-5 years.

Looking at TGS, Japanese industry dont seem too committed to next gen, it will hurt them, and it will hurt consoles in Japan. They still live in last gen, releasing PS3 games till 2015 or even 2016. They did the same with the PS3 and it was the right choice to do back then considering PS2 was still a beast and PS3 was in a mess. This time however is actually the right moment to get back in the game and start right from the beginning due to the easier to develop for architecture of the PS4.

If they dont try now they will never try it. And it's a big mistake and miscalculation of Japanese devs to not localize their PS4 games in these times of few games. If Yakuza launched now it would have no competition, people just dont have enough games to choose from so these games would get a lot more time in the spotlight.

Don't lynch me PSX Mafia but I will not be surprised if PS4 soon reaches levels between WiiU-PS3 around May or June. Just like the PSP was outselling Vita for some time. Lifetime sales for PS4: between 7-10 million.

Interesting opinions, but we all thought xb1 would dominate USA, it didn't. We thought next gen would sell less, it sold more than previous gens. Consumer Habits can change, for example I would've never bought a ps3 at launch and now im part of the struggle trying to find one.

Is  this a troll topic? Lifetime 7-10 million? Are you trying to be funny or is it because your favorite Xbox or Wii U isn't doing as hot as you think and feeling very sour?

Nothing to lynch about, just a bit pessimistic. You are not the only one to have concerns about the consoles in Japan.

However it is a bit premature. You can't really compare the PS3 to PS4 which is a complete reversal of the former. Why not see the potential of a complete reversal for the attitude of japanese devs? PS3 was never appealing to work with, from the start. Now the hype is everywhere and devs are noticing the huge success of the PS4 in the west.
The hype should sell more consoles than it usually would and with more people come more games and more people and more games etc.
I wouldn't start the doom and gloom before at least april.

Yes. Everyone knows Turkish is the worst Xbot on these here forums.

Why are you so mad Sony fan?

Yeah, you seem like a great Sony fan.  Finally, the world greatest fan appear everyone.

I think it's because you failed to specify Japan next to it, got me too.

Lifetime sales for PS4: between 7-10 million.

what you wanna bet on this?
Easy win for me :)

10 million would actually be pretty great for the PS4 and 7 million still good. Not pessimistic numbers at all.
