  It needs to outsell the WiiU 55-60 weeks around 20K to beat it...   Would give the PS4 10% chance to beat the WiiU this year. 

Also people should not forget that PS4 also has digital releases and stuff like the Resident evil remake also increase the sales of PS4...

The other 3 playstations did really well. Ps4 with a terrible Japan line up has sold 1 million in under a year. Given the declining market that's very good. Lots of good games for it to build on this year before the massive FF 15 boost. Then next year ps3 support should die out and ps4 will gain even more. Ps4 is definitely not doing awful. 


Its all relative.  It will be the worst selling playstation ever.   it sure isnt doing well or good.

Yeah it probably will be the worst selling playstation ever but that doesn't make sales awful. XB1, 360 and XB are what you would call awful for Japan. PS4 will sell 6-10M. That is not awful and effectively it gives PS4 a 6-10M boost over the XB1 WW. Important market in the grand scheme of things still.

Look at how awfull xb1 sales are

With Xbox ONE sales in Japan as abysmal as they are, how long do you think will it need to reach in total sales the sales figure of the original Xbox' first week (if they ever even shall reach that number and not pull the plug beforehand)?

i think that question just puts how awful the xbox one sales in japan really are. it will take a while to reach that number anyway especially with 10 months of guaranteed poor sales coming up.

hopefully the Wii U and PS4 can stay around 10K or higher for at least a bit longer.

Not sure, but I think Mario Party 10 comes in between, end of february or early march.


Yeah, think you're right on that, early March iirc.

Still a very long wait though!

Well the current schedule for Japan looks like this...

January 22nd: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

March 9th: Mario vs Donkey: Tipping Stars

March 12th: Mario Party 10

April 29th: Xenoblade Chronicles X

May??? Splatoon

Not sure how the sales will move but at least the release phase seems ok.



small44 on 15 January 2015

I think Splatoon will beat a lot of people expectation



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
