I still doubt that the PS4 will flop in japan ...


...

It already is a flop in Japan.

8,000 units sold last week. That's only 900 units more than the Wii U. It's a flop.

3DS & Wii U have Japan on lock. PS4 already fell of a cliff there.


No. No the Wii U doesn't.


How do you expect PS4 to sell when there are no games meant only for PS4 that Japan wants yet and its been only 3 months where Wii U has been there for 18 months of time and more games only can be played in Wii U, but still PS4 sold more than Wii U by 900 units?

 

Kingdom Hearts sold less than 1m in Japan. The PS4 won't outsell the PS3 in japan. That won't "save" the PS4.

Final Fantasy 13 sold 2 million on the PS3. The PS4 won't outsell the PS3 in Japan. That won't "save" the PS4.

Metal Gear Solid 4 sold less than 1m in Japan. The PS4 won't outsell the PS3 in japan. That won't "save" the PS4.

NSMBU has outsold both Kingdom Hearts and MGS4 in Japan for perspective. Wii Party U has sold only 100k less than those two in Japan for perspective. FFXV, KH3, and MGS5 will, without a shadow of a doubt, do worse on the PS4 in Japan than any of their predisessors, because the PS4 itself is tracking far behind all of its predisessors.

The PS4 won't bounce back. Those games will slightly boost sales temperily. That's obvious. The PS4 will continue to fail there, though. Just be glad it isn't failing everywhere, like the Wii U is.

Japan doesn't care about Mario Kart either. MK Wii may have sold nearly 4m there, but the Wii U is tracking far behind the Wii. A more accurate comparison is MK DD, which sold less than 1m there. SSBM sold just over 1m there. Those games won't save the Wii U in Japan either.

Console gaming is dead there. That includes the PS4 and the Wii U.

The Wii U will outsell the PS4 there as soon as MK8 hits. It'll be a small boost, but it doesn't need a big one to outsell it there. The PS4 is outselling the Wii U because it's still a fresh product there. It's been declining faster than the Wii U.
