PS4 with 61% marketshare this week...without Japan
|
japan won't be very relevant in that percentage for more than 2 weeks.
|
Haha, want to bet? PS4 should sell more in its third week in Japan than WiiU WW that week, barring complete sellouts and lack of stock.
|
You will regret it. it may even be hard for ps4's japan 3rd week to compete with wii u's japanese sales for the same week.
|
Alright. Conditions?
|
sounds straight forward. I win if ps4 week 3 in japan < Wii U WW numbers for the same week.
you win if I win if ps4 week 3 in japan > Wii U WW numbers for the same week.
|
I agree with zero, the ps4 won't lght Japan on fire. The ps3 sold like 1.5 million a year there? Wow that's massive.....
|
So whatever happened last gen automatically locks in the trends of the new gen? Great logic you have there..
|
I'm sorry if my "opinion" doesn't match up to yours! But if you look at the last gen, the wii sold pretty well and didn't set Japan on fire either. PS3 sold pretty slow too. I'm not saying the ps4 won't sell pretty well, but I think that Japan has shown they aren't as "into" consoles as other countries are. Now you acting like just because it's the ps4, it will suddenly change that. Now THATS even greater logic you have there..
edit: even Sony sees Japan as the #3 market, why else would they wait until February to release it in their homeland? Consoles just aren't that huge there anymore. It's just a reality.
|
Consoles were very popular last gen in Japan.
PS2+GC+XB=about 28 million
PS3+Wii+360=about 24 million
The huge decline in Japan is very exaggerated and there is still cleary a market for them.
|
It is probably not so cut and dry as that. Last gen was a very long gen and this gen probably will not be. PS2 was a monster so that gen was very good, and last gen was so long that the PS3 could get close to Wii numbers. Basically I expect a new console in at least 5 years compared with 6 and 7 years for last gen.
|
Why do you think this generation will not last as long as the last generation
|
I cannot see companies taking losses for 5 years if Sony dominates.
|
How do you know Microsoft is not making money with xbox one it's not because sold a lot more xbox one has to be not profitable.
