Does PS4 need a system seller this year?

I don't think so cause the "definitive" (hate that word) version of all the third party games will probably be the ps4 version unless the games are exclusive to its competitors... So the ps4 probably got the 3rd party support it wants and unless x1 has a system seller this e3, I think the ps4 has nothing to worry about as of yet

Sony still needs system sellers. If they don't maintain their lead, Nintendo and MS will gain ground. Having the definitive version will help, but that won't replace exclusives. Japan is also a question mark right now, but how that will turn out remains to be seen. As for this year, there will be a couple of exclusives revealed, so the PS4 will probably get another system seller. 

I agree with everything you said with exception of this.  The PS3 had a similar launch and it is for the same reason as the PS4's.  Most devs that make games that Japan gamers are into are always a generation behind.  Look at the more recent PS3 exclusives if you need proof of this.  Once these devs take their heavy hitting console franchises to the PS4, the gamers will follow.  The only thing that could make the PS4 fail in Japan is if those franchises still being released on the PS3 and the devs behind them suddenly vanish, which I don't see happening anytime soon.
