This is obviously a Dragon Quest/Final Fantasy boost, and sales will likely go back down to 19k/ week. For comparison here are Japanese sales of popular Wii U games.

Pikmin 3 (21k Wii U sales / up 183%)
Mario Kart 8 (19,098 sales/ up 114%)
Dragon Quest X first version and a late port (22,485/ up 108%.)

A new Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest (multiplat PS3/PS4), and Yakuza game will definitely boost Japanese PS4 sales for a few weeks.

Still the PS4's baseline this year is definitely up. I expect an average of 30k /week rather than the previous average of 22k /week. Wii U should have an average of 18k /week still, maybe a slight drop to 15k /week if sales can't pick up again this holiday, although I expect a price-cut to boost sales to maybe 25k /week.

interesting.

what do you think, bloodborne, deception iv, this "samurai girl game" and one piece pw3 coming on 26 march.

over 35.000 (Ps4)) possible in this week (end of march)?

Souls games sell like 300-500k on ps3 lifetime in Japan. I would expect a 10k-15k hardware boost if DQ Heroes made a 25k boost. 35k sales seems like a reasonable prediction. I think it wont take PS4 until the second week of April to go back to its 20k baseline. Which is still much better that. Its 7k baseline for most of last year.

i hope the best for us. console-gaming in japan, its stronger in the future, maybe.
well see.. = )
