Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS4 failed in Japan. PS4 become maybe last place in hardware selling. But whats the reason?

From the last number I would just say it sells as much as the other home consoles (the ones you plug on the TV).... which is not impressive for a country that used to buy them nearly as much if not more than the USA or Europe.

Maybe some new, more "japanese" titles will change this, or maybe Japanese people just lost interest in console gaming and they all want to play on their smart phones or portable devices?

Who can tell me, I won't pretend I know much about Japan, other than they used to make much more great games, now they seem few and far between :-/

I do hope Sony is out of business. Not because of themselves, although I feel their product does not add anything good to the market, and I do not like any of ther exclusive franchises, but because I feel their fans care more about winning console wars than actual gaming.

Luckily I dont think Sony will last too much longer. Even though Ps4 sells well (although it's sales are likely plummeting downward everywhere right now), it already kind of feels like a dead product, with little software sales. The hardware is awesome thanks to the American design, but Sony will slowly but surely screw up the rest of it.

Why the hell did this person got banned? Just because he told his opinion??? This absolutly unsustainable!!! I bet that the person who banned him is a PlayStation Fanboy who can't handle the truth!!! And it is absolutly stupid to ban people because you can just make a new account on this site!!! These website bans are pointless, I already have 15-25 accounts here on this website just because of stupid moderators who don't let people post their own opinions!!!

If you honestly can't tell what's wrong with that post I'll be surprised. Going around calling attention to being an alternate ID is also not smart. 

It's just his opinion!!! He thinks that the PlayStaion is not a good product, and he said some resonoable reasons why he thinks this, so where is the problem??? Is everyone only allowed to say good things about the PlayStation now???

I actually laughed at this. Nice change of pace comment from the negativity in this thread.

Gosh, missed the fun
Thread full of bans, alternate ID (from BlackGoku09), furious outraged Sony fans, truth, lies...

Glorious thread OP, congrats,

OP: I guess japanese consumers are rejecting PS4 hardware untill they decide to see better support. Wii U is already a console without games, no need for another, and even worse, not made by Nintendo.
