26 - 22 million is nearly a 20% drop, that's not the same. Anyway what's your point?

releasing PS4 in Japan a bit late won't affect overall sales really, and that's what matters the most. Plus Sony does need to focus on Vita right now in Japan.

The drop actually is just 16%. And if we would also consider Xbox/X360 it would be even less than that. The point is quite simple PS2 to PS3 lead to 12m less units down by 57%, while their competitor gained 8m units compared to its predecessors. If you can´t admit the correlation I really don´t know what your problem is.

That PSV was the main reason for the PS4 next year release date in Japan is an argument that I already mentioned several times in this thread. PSV is also a very recent example of how letting your competitor too much time to sort things out can lead to losing marketshare and that Nintendo and Sony systems actually are direct competition and not living in a vacuum.

So what's your point? Wii did better last gen, and PS3 did worse. Sony released the PS3 nealy at the same time as Wii, so how does this have anything to do with PS4 releasing a few months late in Japan? Do you think people are just going to buy WiiU's because there is no PS4 around? Would that be any different if there were a PS4 around with only western style games? I don't think so.
