vfguy said: I went game shopping in Osaka today and I found many, many used PS4 consoles. Almost every store I went into had at least one used console. I did not take pictures at one of the Sofmap stores and at Super Potato as they appeared to only have one used PS4 in stock. Altogether I saw 24 used PS4s in the seven stores I went into. /snip |
There aren't that many interesting games for JP market yet, but also let's put this into perspective.
There are over half a million consoles in circulation in Japan. Let's say there are 100 times more shops with similar numbers of consoles that you saw, so 2400 consoles. That's still under 0.5% of consoles, so is it that news worthy? It could even be just broken consoles that were returned and refurbished.
