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).

Wii U launched with Monster Hunter, Mario, and Dragon Quest, and was cheaper than the PS4. What makes the PS4 special?
|
WiiU was also cheaper than PS4 in the west and launched with a bigger library, including 2D Mario. PS4 didn't launch with any big or huge system selling exclusive franchise. We know how that turned out.
Ask the consumers. Like I said, PS4 will sell on its own merits as well as for the guarantee of future great 3rd party titles like KH, FF and basically everything else (that Nintendo hasn't made or paid for).

Still the WiiU sold more than 3 million worlwide in just one month. The real problem started after the holidays.
PS4 in now riding the waves of fans hype and CoD players in the West. How long this hype will last? Will it be able to bring new consumers to the market?
CoD doesn´t drive console sales in Japan as it does in the west, you know, and FF is a fading trade even in Japan.

Don't worry about that... PS4 have the best 1st year since launch ever for a console....In just the first half PS4 have Infamous SS, DriveClub, Destiny and Watch Dogs. Wii U didn't have nothing similar that amount ...

Yep. Those games are appealing to western PS fans, but are they appealing to Japanese audiences ? I fear not.
