The fact that some are trying to act like the PS4 is or will be market leader in Japan in this thread is fun in and of itself. |
I don't understand it either. 3DS is nearing the end of it's cycle and still sells more in Japan than PS4. If nothingg surprising happens PS4 install base will never reach 3DS in Japan.

The problem till now was, that the right games for japan gamers were missing. But with the release of star ocean 5 at the end of the year and the following games at next year will increase the sales of the ps4 for sure, if it will ever reach the level of 3ds it's another question

Star Ocean IV sold something like 200k in Japan on the PS3, and SO5 is releasing on both PS4/PS3. I wouldn't call that bigger than Dragon Quest Heroes, Bloodborne, Yakuza, or Final Fantasy Type Zero, all of which probably sold about similar levels (in the case of DQH probably more.)
The only thing that will save PS4 in Japan is DQ XI and that won't be releasing until the end of 2016, already halfway (if not more) through the generation. PS4 will probably end up with PS3 level sales at most in Japan, and only if it has a similar lifetime.
