PS4 is all but dead in Japan :(


I think everyone just needs to forget about the past and take Japan for what it is now.  It had more PS4 sales than the UK this week, so it's probably the second biggest individual market for this and most weeks.  Wouldn't say it's dead, just a smaller potential market

I think it's fine as long as it comfortable outsells the Wii U every week.

Switzerland had massive shipments of solo units and "Amazon bundles" around 10th April, and they sold very well. Unless that is a fluke delivery into one country - which I seriously doubt - I actually expect a very noticable bump in EU sales unlike what the numbers show.



the shortsighted conclusions are after 7 years still hilarious to see

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Are you talking PS4 or XB1?

I agree completely.  12k consoles sold is nothing to sneeze at.  Relative to population size, Japan is certainly still a significant market.

I also think "sleeping" would be a better term for the PS4 in Japan.  The transition from the PS3 to the PS4 is going to take a lot longer than in the west.

Is it a bit too early to start being suspicous again? After NPDs results I'm doubting the US numbers.

UK seems fine.

What VGC need to do is calculate the average of how much they've undertracked the PS4 every month in America (since launch) devide into weeks and start adding that figure onto the PS4 numbers.

PS4 at the end of March in the US according to NPD: 2.93 million; according to Vgchartz: 2.98 million ;)

Vgchartz needs to shuffle some PS4 numbers in the US around, but overall they're still ahead of NPD.

It's in Europe or the Rest of the World where the PS4 is undertracked, that's why Vgchartz doesn't show it at 7 million yet, ioi probably doesn't know where to put the sales.
