How does the PS4 sell so much in Japan?

Well you mean lack of software sales/dominators, what I just see is a console that got support from mayor companies and even got some normal heavy hitters like bloodborne/MGS5 and a large group of games that did +100k from the Dynasty warrios, to A tales of game to games like COD/F4/Witcher3.  

I just find it awkard that someone can see the console sales and make that thread title while mine would rather have been 'How isthe Wiiu is still first in Japan?'

The answer to that question is easy... Splatoon is the main reason why the Wii U is still out in front.  The PS4 would be ahead of Wii U in Japan if they didn't release Splatoon.
