I don't recall anyone saying it would do anything astronomical. In fact, people had (and have) accepted the declining home console appeal, there. That's not a PS4 problem, but a regional one. 

Lets look at the other side of htings - it isn't that far behind the PS3, in the same time frame, and it didn't release at the strongest period (also unlike the previous PlayStation), yet it managed 1 million in under 365 days. That's hardly, "below average". Plus, since I don't see a list of strong software, that 1 million, with very little to offer the region, in under a year, offers a sign of good things to come.

Yeah but PS4 had the 3rd biggest launch in the region but then its weekly sales plummeted to really low levels. 

Since the dedicated hardware market is on the decline in Japan, it makes PS4 reaching 10 million that much more unobtainable.

How many good games have been released on the PS4? It isn't the console's fault that there aren't amazing games coming out. You can't expect people to keep buying a console if they don't have games that they want to play. Wait until Final Fantasy XV comes out, or when a new JRPG comes out, and see if sales increase.


How many good games for the Wii U and PS3 were released in same time period? People didn't have as much an issue buying those consoles when they were also going through a drought with Japanese centric games. Of course FFXV will increase sales. A Dragon Quest themed PS4 was enough to show the console has life in the region.
