Well when you have like 20x the software support than the Wii U, this is to be expected. Congratz nonetheless.

That software support isn't birth right or taken for granted. Sony worked hard to pursue developers; let it be home and abroad. Nobody is stopping developers to release games in Wii U.

Where'd that even come from? When you have more support on any console it's going to sell more software. That's a given. Why take it anywhere else?

that's something considering that the japanese gamers don't buy games unless they have 8 year old girls looking like squids in them

Because you think that 20x support was guaranteed to come despite Sony doing nothing.

Nice! Congrats to PS4! Software out of the way and hardware is next on the home console front. PS4 has a very bright future ahead as the only home console that can play P5/FFXV/KH2.8 and KH3/DQ11/FF7R etc all on the same console.

Considering that the WiiU right now had 44 month to sell software compared to the 28 month the ps4 had in japan it really shows how bad the WiiU is as a gaming console.

Depends on how you wanna see it. I choose to see it as quantity not being able to outweight the strong sales of Nintendo's heavy hitters in a faster pace.

But here's the catch.  It has beaten it at a faster pace.  Ps4 out only 28 months and the Wii U is out 44 months.  It's also had 4 holiday periods to ps4's 2. Launches aligned ps4 is Destroying Wii U software wise.  And that's with its heavy hitters still to come.

No...I don't. Nor do I think Sony had anything to do or not do with it. I didn't even mention Sony as a whole. More software=More Sales Potential.

We live in a world where figure of speech is the same as lying? It was a hyperbole, everyone knows no game system of the big 3 even had 2x the support of any other console let alone 20!

If you're being sarcastic, which I hope you are, then that's fine.
