I agree with this.
I think this gen is definitely capable of selling at least 20m consoles in Japan.
Wii U seem to be trending in GCN/N64 numbers so lets say 5m for that, MS seem to be focusing less on Japan this gen than with 360 but I think those 1.5m 360 owners are quite dedicated so I think XOne will get at least 750k.
That leaves 14.25m for PS4 and thats if the generation drops 4m GoG.
If the PS4 lasts 5 years thats 2.85m a year, thats almost 55k per week - granted it would be less on an average with holiday boosts.
Japan will be very relevant for PS4.
