Japan isn't going to be sold on that. Hell, Sony is doing abysmal due to their lack of Japanese games. Does Microsoft really think that they can win over Japan with a bunch of western titles and a small handful of Japanese games?

If Sony is doing abysmal, who is doing great on Japan's home console market? PS4 is doing almost 40% of the sales every week in there. That is not abysmal.

The PS3, an older console, is selling just as well as the PS4, even better some weeks. The Wii U is far outpacing it. Yeah, that's pretty abysmmal, especially considering that this has easily been their worst launch ever in Japan, and no notable Japanese games are available and will be available for a while.

Also, how is it accounting for 40% of sales? The PS3 is selling 7,000 units, the PS4 is selling 8,000, and the Wii U is selling 11,000. That's 27%, far behind how well it does in almost every other territory. 

Ps3 still games a lot of support and already have a great library of games and Wii u had now a better library then Ps4 ,it would be very bad if Ps4 didn't do well in Japan even with the big games

Fact is though, there are no big games for the PS4 in Japan.

And there are none on the horizon either, other than FFXV, and who knows when that gets released.

Sony concentrated only on the west this generation, hoping that Japanese loyalty would see thme through, but not this time around. Wii U has superior games everywhere else for now, and yet it still gets outsold by the PS4. Not in Japan though.


MGS5 is big enough i agree 2014 will be bad but i think 2015 will be good for Ps4



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
