Ps4 sales didn't destroy anything last year and are quite behind wii u in aligned numbers, as I said multiple times. Dragon quest is enourmoes, dragon quest heroes isn't. It will give a quick boost and that's that. You are still ignoring that ps4 sold 320k in it's first week, meaning it only sold 700k for the rest of 2014. Right now it hasn't even reached the 320k of launch week when aligning yoy sales. It can certainly end UP yoy but not much. As for wii u, there is smash and mario kart already out, wich has impact especially on holidays. releases include mario party, xenoblade, yoshi, zelda, star fox, splatoon, rodea, possibly animal crossing... many of those games are guaranteed to sell several hundred thousands while others are debatable, but so are most of the games you listed for ps4. People may also be waiting for the xenoblade bundle, wich is causing a temporary decrease in the weekly numbers. |
Well actually PS4 destroyed Wii U for sales in Japan and everything else worldwide in 2014, because PS4 sold 14,020,685 between the 4th Jan 2014 to the 3rd of 2014, 3DS did 9,687,334, so PS4 sold 4,333,351 more globally than even the 3DS, it outsold every other console by an even bigger margin, that would be the definition of destroying everything else within the same time period.
PS4 is up, sales are increasing, which is what the numbers show and as I stated all of those games I mentioned are on their way in the next few weeks, there's also plenty of other games coming out this year, way more than the Wii U has incoming in Japan.
Dragon Quest Heroes is still a DQ game, it'll have sustained sales and a good boost at the beginning.
I'm ignoring nothing, VGChartz has PS4 at 1,089,117 for 51 weeks of sales, with the 52nd not being published yet, it sold 319,689 at launch in Japan, that means it's done 769,428 for 50 weeks of sales, the sales for the 15th to the 21st of Feb aren't yet known, but you're still majorly low-balling the figures to suit your agenda. The system has sold more than it did at launch throughout the rest of it's sales time, so I don't get your point.
The games we know about that are coming for Wii U aren't really huge sellers in Japan, not like Final Fantasy XV could be and it's seeming more and more likely that game is coming out this year.
Metal Gear 5 is coming out September 1st, I obviously mentioned all of those games coming in the next few weeks, GT7 will probably end up a 2015 release, Level 5 has a PS4 exclusive in development that they're going to announce at E3, which could very well come out in 2015 or at least release within the PS4's 2nd year in Japan.
Dragon's Dogma Online, Deep Down, Let it Die, overall there's a lot more games coming to PS4 for Japan, that add up to a likely far bigger sales boost than you're giving them credit for. PS4 will sell more than 2.2M in Japan this year, simply by virtue the games that are confirmed for Japan.
The fact the PS4 has been doing as well as it has, selling 3X the amount most weeks in Japan compared to Wii U only supports that sales will sky rocket when the games suited to the market start releasing over there, we have confirmed release dates for a load of games and it's known more are definitely coming out over there this year and as is customary for Playstation once that starts happening it doesn't stop throughout the whole generation.
It's not like PS4 has one or two games confirmed and there will be months of drought in games releases in Japan, it's constant throughout this year and that isn't going to end with what we currently have confirmed, more will be confirmed later.
If you think Wii U is going to surpass PS4 in sales in Japan, you haven't looked at the facts.
