Did Sony lose Japan?

The only thing that has done well in Japan up to this point in the gen is the 3DS, every other dedicated gaming system is doing varying degrees of horrible.

At the end of the day my bet for leading home console of the gen in Japan is still the PS4, it just won't show its real potential until japanese third parties made the jump.

It's selling about 5,000 consoles a week.  Uncharted couldn't move the needle up to 10,000.

And Uncharted is a japanese 3rd party game?

FFXV can move the needle up to 10k+ or KHIII or Reisdent Evil 7 or Yakuza 6 or Dynasty Warriors 9 or MGS V or a new Dragons Dogma or Tales of or even a western game like GTA VI can or new IPs, for example the Evil Within seems to be doing quite reasonably and god only knows what'll happen if the next Dragon Quest comes to PS4 (assuming it's no MMO).

The point is, there are still tons of games that can and, if Sony works their 3rd party magic, will come to the PS4 from 3rd party developers in Japan. Only when the PS4 gets a steady stream of games thanks to this, then we'll know how well it can do in Japan.
