80 percent marketshare and growing... I wonder if PS4 can have 90 percent markethare in some Euro markets

Maybe some... Japan I know it will have over 90% marketshare

PS. I'm accounting with MS moneyhating some JRPG exclusives franchise becaue if without JPRG exclusive then the PS4 marketshare will be close to 100% between PS4/Xbone.

I think this time around it's going to cost MS more to secure JRPG exclusives.  Even with the 5 or 6 JRPG exclusives they got early on in the 360 life cycle, it really wasn't pushing much hardware.  One or both of these things probably occurred as a result of that:  1.)  the lack of hardware spikes probably convinced MS that it wasn't worh their money to buy anymore JRPG exclusives, as evidenced by the fact that in year 3 and beyond, all subsequent JRPGs were either multi-plat or Sony exclusives.  2.)  JRPG developers saw the same lackluster result and demanded more money for exclusivity of future titles in order to make financial sense for them.

If MS wants to go the same route this time around, they need to go big or not go at all.  Unelss they secure a big JRPG game like FF or DQ, I don't think it's going to make much noise in the Japanese market.
