for me, is bad honestly. I think a console should sell at least 20k at week, and more than 50k during December because of course is the holidays time.
So yeah, if you ask me, this week withouth 3DS is pretty poor, expecially if we considering is obon week.

Yeah, I understand that's pretty sad no having 20k per week. However, we're talking about Japan. Things are not as they have usually been. The mobile market is what keeps alive the industry. You can't expect 20k baseline (except for 3DS), from any point of view.

This. People really need to update their expectasions to 2015 and stop bringing up the past context. 10-15k for PS4 in September/October would already be 50-100% increase YOY in many weeks and if that is not good I don't understand what the fuck people are expecting. It is unrealistic to expect 300% YOY increases to baseline without major japanese big hitters releasing. If PS4 does let's say 15k through September/October then next year, in 2016 with 50% growth the PS4 would have 22,5k baseline and I don't think PS4 will stop there. PS4 is on its way to great sales but it has to walk before it can run.

What i expect? Nothing, i already said what for me should be a good basis of sales, if a console in Japan during a important week can't sell 20k, that's for me is bad.
YOY invrease? What mean YOY increase honestly? Last year PS4 was selling at death level, the double of 0 is 0.
And why next year PS4 should have a 50% increase YOY all week? Of course 2016 can be good for PS4 thanks the week of Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest, but i see 0 reason for PS4 to be up YOY so much with nothing. Is just like Wii U in the US, in 2013 was selling at death level, and in 2014 during a normal month withouth new released was easy up YOY, like in April, 35k in 2013 and 48k in 2014. Those Wii U sales was good because a huge YOY increase? Not even close.
That's a similar situation with PS4, is selling better than the death console of last year, but those numbers are still bad.
Just like PSVita, or Wii U.
That's my opinion. 18k this week aren't good.
