First of all I´m talking just about the Japanese market and how it will directly affect the Japanese console market, so anything regarding PS4 shipments in other regions this year in Saudi-Arabia, East-Asia, Brazil etc. is off-topic.
Looking at this and last weeks hardware sales in Japan this holiday season is completely dominated by two systems, namely 3DS and WiiU. PS3 basically was bascally a non-factor this past two weeks selling roghly 25k units. While WiiU sold 75k units last week and over 115k this week units according to Famitsu.
Was it really that great of an idea to give WiiU all this freedom this year in Japan? Because it seems quite obvious to me that Sony tried this year to give the PSV more time in the spotlight (PSV and the new launched PSTV) and expected a far better performance of Gran Tourismo 6 which by is Sonys biggest franchise in Japan and PS3. A strategy that backfired on both fronts so far.

look at last gen console sales xbox,ps3 and wii sold a combined 24 million, that should be enough for to understand why sony did what it did.

How exactly does this help in selling PS4s in Japan again? Could you please elaborate this?
@Akvod
Just read the opening post already. Japan is the topic, deal with it.

US those 3 combined for over 100 million, samething with europe, thats why sony decided they had to feed the most important markets first. even though the wiiu is selling great at the moment, it still won't even sell a million units for the year in japan and thats what is important, YTD sales not just the holidays.
