According to VGChartz, the PS4 is currently at 2.5M! 

Now it showing its steady sales which is staying over 20k each week! With more big games coming, we can see this going for many weeks to come! 

How much do you think it will sell? + Can it reach over 10.4M?

Definitely not. Japan is done with consoles.



If it sold 20k in Japan consistently every week, it would take until 2024 for it to reach 10.4m.

Now obviously it'll sell more some weeks and less others, but you get the picture.

Yeah. I personally think it will reach around 8-9M. 

Now we have to consider how will the PSVR affect in Japan? Is there a demand or interest in VR in Japan? Does the PSVR need a petting waifu or hentai game for it to get lots of interest? 

And if the PS4.5 thing is real. Will Japanese PS4 owners will upgrade?

No and no.

If PS4 is at only 2.5m over there when its been out for two years, what would make anyone think they'd be excited to buy a 40000Y periferal for it?

Mobile is dominating over there. They don't care about power over there. That's a western thing.

Why are you so sure, I think it's slighty beating ps3 launch aligned. Sure ps3 had strong legs, but ps4 hasn't seen any really big exclusive release. Most big franchises have yet to come. It will have Dragon quest, ps3 didn't

I wanted to quote your first comment, sorry



I don't know if it will beat the PS3 in the end but I'm not worried for the PS4 and I don't think it has to beat it to be a success. It has huge upcoming releases like Final Fantasy XV, Persona 5, Dragon Quest XI, Final Fantasy VII Remake, Kingdom Hearts III, Yakuza 6, Resident Evil 7, etc. The PS4 hasn't seen any releases as big as any of those yet so the fact that it's still doing good right now despite that is quite telling.



It is so far outselling the PS3 in Japan in the same timeframe, and all of this without any of PS4's biggest releases even releasing yet. PS4 kept selling like garbage for a long time in Japan because of the lack of games, but now it is getting a plethora of games almost every week and the sales are ridiculously higher than what they used to be, and I'm sure they'll only get higher from here on out. PS4 can easily beat the PS3.



Can't say more than 8 million.



If psvr takes off then i can see it happening, either way i think it'll be close.
