Forums - Gaming Discussion - The PS4 is picking up steam in Japan

I really hope this continues so the US can continue to get more Japanese games.  There seem to be some great consoles sellers coming soon for Japan (some are already out) and now the weekly sell rate has doubled.

Keep it up Sony!

 

Edit: I think it more than doubled if we consider the beginning sell rate.  Wasn't it like 8000-10000 weekly?

It honestly was getting beat routinely by WiiU last year, yeah. 6-10k / week



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

Yeah its definitely getting better.

yeah, i also hope this continues for the same reasons as you



Yeah, the PS4 is probably going to maintain a 19k-22k baseline. Which is much better than last year. But compared to previous console generations where the top console had 40-50k Japanese baselines around this point in their lives it isn't that great.

This year PS4 has big hitters like bloodborne, ff type 0, dragonball xenoverse (already released), yakuza zero, persona 5, mgs v pp, one piece pirate warriors 3 and biggest anime game of the year Naruto shippuden uns 4. Plus good number of Japan centric games. In home console only Wii U is close to PS4 and it is lacking all of these games. So PS4 has no threat in Japan when it comes to home consoles.

Bloodborne and Xenoblade Chronicles X will likely end at the same sales lifetime (250-300k for both) and probably will sell a similar number of consoles for both platforms. Persona 5 is releasing on PS3 and One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 released for PS3, Vita, and PC, so they won't likely sell many consoles. Wii U also has Revelations # FE, and Splatoon can possibly be successful in Japan. Mario Maker will be succesful, but likey won't sell many consoles.
