PS4 will sell MUCH better than PS3 in Japan. No doubt more than 20 million.

Note:
PS3 has sold 9.5M so far in Japan.

No doubt more than 20 million?

Your confidence is very interesting, would you mind expanding a bit on why you see it this way?

Sure.  I see the PS4 as the "return of the console" in Japan.  Nothing [at home] has been big there since PS2, and I have a feeling based on a general overall sense of enthusiasm, momentum, along with Sony's own corporate philosophies.  I see big things coming.  Disclaimer: I'm not a die-hard PS-only fan, I've owned and enjoyed consoles from every major company since the 90s.

As you can see, Playstation sold just about 20M, and PS2 sold more than 23M.  And if I'm right about this generation being the return of the Sony console, then it's not at all a far-fetched idea.  PS and PS2 made it happen during the age of Gameboy and NDS, and I reasonably predict PS4 to do as well during the age of 3DS and Vita.  By the way, there is no such thing as the era of 'portable revolution'.  Handhelds have been huge since 1990.  Facts are fun, so is maturity.
