A very good recovery indeed. I remember all the doom and gloom over the Ps4 sales in Japan 2014 when the baseline was 5k in the slower months.

2015 seen a 100% increase to 10k a week in the slower months and 2016 has seen another 100% increase to 20k a week in the slower months.

It's tracking close to the ps3 which at this stage last gen had blown them a shit load of money in Japan. Profitability wise the improvement to this gen is off the charts. And importantly a nice user base is growing that will support another healthy gen for PlayStation in Japan.

What is happening here lol. 

I don't strongly disagree, but to suggest the Japan console market is in a good place and healthy for PlayStation is a bit of a stretch. 

They haven't done very well at all. Especially with zero competition. 

Their numbers are ahead of Nintendo and M$, so they considered PS4 is a big success

But if they compare it to Wii or PS2 sale figure then what we see is game console sales's decline
