I was using Newzoo, but I also find another sources

Japan did over 2.8-3.2 Billions of US $ according to Famitsu (3.9 Billions with Console + PC according to Newzoo). Uk did 904 Millions of euros with software and 690 Millions of Euros with hardware, 140 Millions with PC Hardware for gaming  and 130 Millions with used items(I don't know what it is), 360 Millions with acessories and 1.225 Billions with PC and Console digital, this is what makes the things hard.

So, both have pretty much the same revenue for consoles.

Exactly.  And kowenicki just proved that the Japan market is pretty much equal to the UK.  Isn't it funny how you can say that and at the same time act like Japan isn't important. 

 

The ps4 will get 8m+ sales easily in Japan this gen. Considering how the xb1 is selling WW Microsoft would absolutely love that. 

Will Microsoft launch the Scorpio for Japan ? Even the PS4 had some months of delay before launching on Japan. But I think that Microsoft will still launch the Scorpio there, after some time, with a small stock.

The sad thing is that Xbox One took over 3 years to outsell Xbox360's launch numbers, on Japan.  The Xbox 360 sold more than 60.000 in 2 days of launch.
