You missed the part where I said last year, my comparison was betwen the sales of both systems last year, Wii U is on the decline in Japan compared to it's 1st year, PS4 had a great 1st year in Japan, with far better games, that are more suited to the market coming out this year in Japan.

No you can't say the same about the Wii U not having many Japan centric games, the likes of Mario titles, Pikmin, Nintendo Land, they've all been more Japan focused big releases than pretty everything PS4 has had so far, but that's changing this year.

PS4 has a lot more games that are more suited to Japan's market than Wii U does this year, a proper Metal Gear, Bloodborne, Final Fantasy Type O, hell I showed a load of games coming out within the next few weeks that will have a huge effect on sales in Japan.

 

I'm overestimating nothing in regards to PS4 2015 and ltd sales in Japan, the games will have that level of effect over there.

So far you've given no logical reason to show why this won't happen.

Wii U's decline is lo little that any increase will make it go up yoy. And ps4 didn't have a great first year, it was terrible, with sales bellow ps3.

Keeping the current pace of 20k weekly (wich is improbable, it's more likely to go down), it will take untill the end of april to match the first week of sales (300k). after that, it would reach 800k for the year at the end of october and maybe get another 400k on november+ december. that's 1.2 millino for the year and 2.2 million ltd by the end of 2015 IF sales keep up. you are the one predicting 100% more at minimum, without giving any logical reason.


What are you talking about? PS4 destroyed Wii U's sales in Japan last year, it's only behind PS3's first year because it had no big releases suited for the market, considering 2015's line-up of games is massively bigger it will most definitely have a huge sales increase in Japan.

Wii U's 1st year isn't much better than PS4's, it's 1.1 vs 1.2 and Wii U had bigger games, PS4 hadn't nothing big, yet it still came close to Wii U's 1st year numbers.

 

I gave a bunch of logical reasons for why PS4's sales will increase that much, Dragon Quest Heroes being one, that game's enormous over there, Metal Gear is another, PS4 will be the only home console that matters when those games come out over there, you ignoring logic doesn't make for an absence of logic.

Don't forget the games I listed coming within your timespan, Bloodborne, Dragon Ball, Dynasty Warriors, Resident Evil Revelations 2, Final Fantasy Type O, Bladestorm, they're all coming out by the end of that 57 week timespan you gave, if you think they'll have no effect in Japan you're sorely mistaken.

Lack of games in 2014 in Japan=1.1M sales for PS4, actual big comes coming to Japan in 2015=big sales improvement, 2X2014 easy, likely well beyond that.

 

What's coming for Wii U this year that will cause some huge sales boost this year? There's nothing as big as Smash or MK8 coming out this year on Wii U in Japan, those were 2014 games.
