""""This is flat-out PR Spin. During a pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference. Sony’s Asia president Atsushi Morita claimed that Sony owns 78% of the market share in Japan for ‘home consoles.’ However, Sony combined the PS4 and PS3 numbers against just the Wii U.
Sony completely ignored the Wii, and declined to give a market share update on the PS Vita, even though the PS Vita is the currently Sony’s best selling system in Japan. Nice PR spin there Sony. You guys don’t own 78% of the Japanese home market. You can’t combine a 7th and 8th generation system, then leave out the competitions’ 7th generation systems. Especially since Wii software is still selling in Japan like Super Smash Bros Brawl and Dragon Quest X.
Here are the numbers 8th gen:
Wii U -1.9 million
PS4 -670 Thousand

7th Gen:
Wii – 12.7 million
PS3 – 10 million

Portable:
3DS – 16 million
PS Vita – 3.1 million (133K for PS VitaTV

This just made a minus for me from Sony. Not cool. Apparently it's not the first time they twist things for the public, either.
Dissapointing.
