The difference between PS and Nintendo isnt really as high in Japan as people think the sales numbers show. Basicley it comes down to 180k 3DSs and Wii Us vs 150k Vitas and PS4s for this week for example.
I am pretty sure they just dont buy PS4s without any games, if these publication would shows total software both would be equall as PS has more variety of games to choose from and overall more software avaible. So i dont understand the debate with every Japanese sales thread. Both do well

 

nope.

3DS is selling over 54% of total software.  Even if you combine PS3, PS4 and vita for the year you only get 33% of software sales.  Hardware sales are down for 3DS because it's old and becoming saturated, once you get after christmas it starts to favor Sony for a while so you shouldn't cherry pick this week's sales as representative of the whole year.

Yes its represntable. PS4 is outselling regullary the Wii U, look how fast it got to 2 million, the Wii U is not even 3 million yet despite its longer lifetime. 

My point remains that japanese people arent just buying the console without games. You forget also that PS4 and even most PS3 and Vita games are sold for twice the price of a 3DS and Wii U game. For almost every 2 copies of Splatoon 1 copy of MGS5 is being sold. Add in PS+ you will see that Sony makes just as much money in Japan
