I think the effect is basically similar to MGS5 launch, which is 50,000, someone can pull that up. If you factor in the loss sales from the previous weeks with shortage. (My math could be really off, and obviously that is with the assumption the baseline of 20,000).

3 weeks of shortages = 60k sales lost

This week sales without the slim or the persona effect would've been 20k too

So effectively, 4 weeks of sales = 80k 

I know delayed sales aren't guaranteed sales, but still, the number is disappointing in my opinion, but I think I expected too much from Japan. NX will give us the final clear picture about traditional video games sales there.

Well, if the NX is a hybrid handheld (like everything points to) it should of course do good in Japan. Japan loves their handheld gaming. PS2 is the only home console in the top 5 best selling consoles in Japan. The rest are handhelds.


It should tell you something when PS4 is the 2nd fastest selling home console ever worldwide and yet the "failed" Vita still has a 2 mill lead over it in Japan.
