How much do you think PS4 will sell in Japan?

I think you have to much faith in the future of Japanese console gaming. Why is there this weird conseption that games made in japan will somehow make consoles successful there. Those games will do better than western games, definitely, but they won't be turning the consoles around. The console market is dead over there and none of those Japanese-made games will change that. Not for any console.

its not about faith. here's how I see it.

I stand by the PS4 selling at least 8M in Japan and at most 10M. that's not turning around anything considering that at one point platforms sold as much as 30M over there. Now take into account that for majority of last gen the japs were a no show in game development. we hardly had more than 6 proper jrpgs or action adventure games from them. and fact is that those are the kinda games that the japs  play and will buy consoles for. This gen so far we have blooborne, Ff15, DQ and Persona already announced to be coming to the PS4. those games coupled with GT7 and MGS5 will push at least 3M consoles between them over there. then all that is left to be seen is just how many more Japan centric games are released for the rest of the gen. games sells consoles. you seem to forget that.
