The Wii U is the least of their worries. Sony will never overcome the 3DS in Japan, and to try is pointless.

I agree.

But Sony is talking about home consoles I guess... not handhelds.

Do you think they can reclaim Japan with home consoles?



I am a Nintendo fanatic.

And if you think the PS4 will sell many millions more than Wii U lifetime, good luck...

PS4 will sell millions of more than Wii in Japan... that is not even in discussion here.

The actual life to date sales:

WiiU: 2.407.788
PS4: 1.537.321

At the actual rate PS4 will cross 3m about at the same time... after that PS4 will start to increase the gap and WiiU will be already dead.

At the actual rate? O_o

Last week:

Wii U: 14k

PS4: 13k

 

The week before that:

Wii U: 16k

PS4: 11k

 

The week before before that:

Wii U: 21k

PS4: 11k

 

The week before before before before before before before before before before that:

Wii U: 17k

PS4: 12k

 

 

Etho no, PS4 has not a chance for sell 3 million in the same time that Wii U will... i do agreed that PS4 will sell more in the lifetime data, but not many millions like some people think, probabily just 1/2 million more...

Facts : Wii U is dying, the next home console will be announced at E3 2016, Wii U is living it's last year, SMTxFire Emblem is not a system seller, Wii U had it's last big exclusive system seller with Splatoon.


Facts : PS4 didnt even get true big system seller, KH3/FFXV/FFVII/and an other game from SE we all know are coming exclusively for it in Japan. That makes it the only possible relevant home console for most japaneses, that's why it's the only console that has a chance to get a pretty decent life in Japan like PS3

I said fact. Please read up on that word means. You are speculating, and speculation is not fact.

First Bolded: Funny, I remember hearing people say the same thing about Smash Bros. And then Xenoblade. Funny how that works.

Second Bolded: Really? So Yakuza, Dragon Quest Heroes, Bloodborne and Final Fantasy aren't system sellers? Sales numbers beg to differ.

Also, may I remind you that the Wii sold more than the PS3 in Japan, so comparing the PS4 to that really doesn't support your argument.

Easily... there is no competition at all and devs are focusing in make Japan games for PS4.

So, yes.. that is - what we want. Big japanese games! So, gooo Sony! Japan is still alive.
I'm very exciting of the Persona 5 and Star Ocean 5 Sales, by the end of the year in japan.

Did we decide to throw out the assumption that the Japanese don't really care about home consoles anymore? Because if so, then I could believe you.

Japanese games made for the western market. Even Final Fantasy is being westernized.

So you really think PS4 will flop as much as Wii U during the generation with FFXV/FFVII/KH3/DQXI ( lets be realistic and honest , we know it's coming on PS4 ) ? Seems legit to think it will outsell Wii U by 6-7M at the end.

Both will flop, that's all.

You say "PS4 is the only relevant console" when is currently outsold by Wii U.

 

Stop talk about one unrealistic future that YOU predict, actually PS4 is after XBOX console and the Dreamcast the worse selling console in Japan. stop.

You remind me those who thought PS3 would lost the generation being millions under the 360 because of the first bad years.
I say the PS4 is the only relevant console because it the only console with a relevant futur, since it's the only one that will reach PS3 level. It's totally unrealistic to think it wont while it has much bigger system sellers than PS3, even a blind would see that coming with all these big releases

 

If you want to make a bet on that, go ahead, it will be an easy win for me.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m
