Still quite close to the launch period and still the full reality hasn't hit home. There is still meant to be a lot of Xbox one stock sitting on shelves in mainland Europe and Japan's reaction to ps4 is unknown.

My guess is the ps4 will achieve a gap of between 3-4 million with Xbox One fairly soon after the japanese launch but Sony still seem to be struggling to produce enough ps4's and Microsoft may counter with something to enhance their sales level. I do think PS4 will be huge in Japan but as previously stated content drives japanese sales. The thing is though the ps4 is a thing of pride for Japan. It's doing brilliantly well abroad and the Japanese are very patriotic. There is a feel good factor to the ps4 in japan that will enhance sales. I'd guess at launch figures of about 700,000 if stock is available. Clearly if Sony can't provide that stock the figures will be less.
