It's performing more or less exactly as I imagined; a decent launch followed by a plummet and likely a very unimpressive weekly baseline from April and onwards towards the holidays.
Japan is a dead end for all consoles today.

That said; I feel it's important to also mention the difference in launch times, some of the above consoles launched during the holidays and that's kinda relevant to the overall situation.


That´s true. While WiiU was launched in a better, let´s say, "environment", we just can´t deny that PS4 numbers were not what Sony probably wanted. PS4 launch was lower than PS3 launch and this is a main concern, specially considering that PS3 was ( a lot) more expensive.

Japanese gamers really doesn´t seem to care much about home consoles anymore. PS4 will hardly repeat PS3 success.
