On another thread, I tried to tell a guy that Xbox One will never recover fully there. The Wii U will win the 2nd console prize in Europe. Xbox One will eventually recapture 2nd by a wide margin in America. We all know the console market is and will continue to track weak overall. Once a couple key Japanese centric games release on PS4 it will over take Wii U. Xbox One will again be nonexistent in Japan. While I love all systems, this is coming from a Nintendo diehard.


I'm not convinced the PS4 will overtake the WiiU in Japan unless Sony can get MH5 and DQVIIIR/DQX/DQXI combo. FF has lost a LOT of its appeal and I'm not sure XV is enough for it to get its mojo back. KH is a big question mark on how it'll do at this point.

I wrote about this on the thread asking if Sony has lost Japan. I said it was Nintendo's to lose. However, I do believe the Japanese game market is simply waiting for a real reason to buy the PS4. They aren't that far behind the Wii U on weak titles, once something meaningful releases they likely will over take Wii U. I think if Nintendo would do something substantial with Pokemon for Wii u and I don't mean Pokken - though that will be fun.


What thread is that?

 

Well there was a recent thread about Sony losing Japan. Someone argued that Xbox One wasn't that far behind in Europe, but I completely disagreed. I said Microsofts honeymoon there was over. Sony WILL NOT relinquish there dominance. Wii U likely will hold on to the 'second system' in Europe. Japan will eventually go to Sony once Japan centric titles hit, however, its Nintendo's market to lose in Japan.
