For you maybe, from a cultural aspect PS4=PSDeath in Japan. People in Japan will not take to it with that name. 

strange. i don't remember apple get trouble to sell iphone4 in japan... i don't think this "4" things that has a close pronunciation to the word "death" is so big now.

Probably because its an American product four culturally doesn't mean anything to us, but thirteen does as far as superstition. A better example would be a Japanese company using four for a product, I dunno, can you name some?
