not sure about this "stock issues" people keeping talking about, but Japan is not a big fan of home consoles, so there´s no surprise here.

It can be a combination of both as well.

PS4 has sold 370k by the 2nd of March, according to Sony. They tracked 309.000 on the launch week according to Famitsu (more according to MC), so that's about 61k this week or less.

For reference, that puts PS4 below Vita and WiiU numbers at the same point in time.

 

I still expect PS4 to outperform those two and it's gonna sell very well regardless of Japan, but this doesn't bode well for the Japanese console market. Is it time to worry?

 

Edited with English link.

PS4 was not out for 2 weeks in Japan, we will have figures probably tomorrow for the 1st week. Sorry mate, but what are you talking about ? I don't get it :)

tracking below Vita and WiiU based on a second week which does not exist ??  OMG people...

what we had is just first 2 days of selling numbers in Japan. Tomorrow we will probably have the 1st week. And we will have figures of the second week in 7-8 days from now.

Because it's Sony it's ok because it's due to suppy, which is true, but i can't help but think if this was Nintendo people would be saying it's not good enough and they should be doing more to meet demand, everything would be Nintendo's fault but because it's Sony it's ok.

I actually don't think PS4 will outperform the Vita in Japan. Wii U, probably.

Japanese console market is dead, the Japanese game business is now two segements -- dedicating gaming handhelds (3DS/Vita) and mobile cell phone/tablet gaming. 

Dead? It just sold 300k in one week. lmao!
