Those aren't the only japanese games that the PS4 will get, it'll be the full force of japanese third parties that will make or break the system and all japanese third parties combined plus Sony are most definitely bigger than Nintendo, that's why the PS1 crushed the N64, the PS2 crushed the GC and the PS3 still came so close to the Wii even after the tremendous lead the Wii had (5 million at one point)

What do you expect? The PS4 should do better next year, without a question. But not extremely better. I expect maybe a 10-15K baseline. Home consoles in Japan are struggling.

They are and I don't know what it'll do next year exactly, though I do believe it'll do better than the Wii U. My point is just that only once the third parties are definitely there on PS4 and are ideally exclusively there, that's when we'll see the PS4s japanese potential. Right now I'd say that potential may be something like 6-8 million units, though if DQ XI actually comes to PS4 and if it's actually a fullfledged single player DQ, then that number could easily go higher.

Better than WiiU should be a given. They currently do about the same, and WiiU is nearing it's peak while PS4 is on it's first year. But I wouldn't put too much expectation into PS4 (or any home console) in Japan at this point.
