Despite calls of the console being doomed in Japan being premature, PlayStation 4 is doing terrible numbers in Japan at the moment:
| 3DS | PSV | Wii U | PS4 | |
| 1 | 374,164 | 322,488 | 306,462 | 319,689 |
| 2 | 208,479 | 74,104 | 130,928 | 58,820 |
| 3 | 100,739 | 41,640 | 121,933 | 33,443 |
| 4 | 63,358 | 39,795 | 74,054 | 29,734 |
| 5 | 52,841 | 17,031 | 69,705 | 31,516 |
| 6 | 43,208 | 14,068 | 20,912 | 23,813 |
| 7 | 32,933 | 18,636 | 16,373 | 14,394 |
| 8 | 26,866 | 17,031 | 12,976 | 12,691 |
| 9 | 22,223 | 14,400 | 12,212 | 13,582 |
| 10 | 26,953 | 11,510 | 11,652 | 11,393 |
| 11 | 27,711 | 11,034 | 10,303 | 11,556 |
| 12 | 17,404 | 10,208 | 9,469 | 8,681 |
| 13 | 16,903 | 9,944 | 9,712 | 6,792 |
| Total | 1,013,403 | 601,889 | 806,691 | 576,104 |
As poorly as the 3DS, Vita, and Wii U sold in their first 13 weeks, the PS4 is selling even worse. And as everyone has said, it's because the system is hugely lacking in games that appeal to Japanese audiences. But I don't think it's as simple as saying "Just wait until Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy XV!", as those are two games with no release dates coming from a company infamous for its long development times.
For now, and for the forseeable future, the PS4 is not going to sell well... because the titles releasing this year are not the ones that sell systems. A bunch of Western games and niche Japanese titles are not going to reverse the trend of the PS4 selling poorly in that reigon. Sony was/is so focused on grabbing the Western markets that it's either forgotten or ignored the eastern one. 2014 is going to be rough on the PS4 as far as Japanese sales go, and there's not much being done to turn that around.
