I don't think PS4 will even match PS3s sales in Japan. Console gaming is dead there. What Japanese games are even announced for this thing? FFXV which is probably like a year away and KH3 which is probably even longer away than that? Metal Gear Solid? Not seeing anything here that the PS3 didn't have, Japanese game production seems to be declining on console side as the years march on.


Also that Tearaway game, lol, is going to bomb like nobody's business.

Yakuza, Dynasty Warriors are two pretty big franchises. 

You're not seeing anything that the PS3 didn't have? Uhm, how about a game you just mentioned...KH3. And PS3 didn't launch with strong Japanese franchises, but PS4 will. This is basically what everyone against the PS4 said about Western sales as well. It has no big games, who will buy it over PS360 etc. First of all, the system will sell on its own merits, second of all it is way cheaper than PS3 was, and lastly it has bigger games coming out sooner. You're forgetting that MS and Nintendo stole much of Sony's potential last gen in Japan (MS by stealing JRPGs early on and Nintendo by selling well).

Tearaway? It did not launch this week in Japan

I hope you're right....you give me some hope Pezus!!!, but i will believe it when i see it...
