I think his point is that Japanese PS4 sales may improve when more of the big games start to arrive in the next 12 months.

Final Fantasy XV - November 29, 2016
Yakuza 6 - December 8, 2016
Resident Evil 7 - January 26, 2017
Tekken 7 - Early 2017
Dragon Quest XI - 2017
Gran Turismo Sport - 2017
Hot Shots Golf - 2017
Kingdom Hearts 3 - 2017
Gundam Versus - 2017

He called Japan PS4 sales impressive, there is nothing impressive about them at all regardless games, PS4 sales on West were great even without great and exclusive games. Only around Japan 3m from around WW 45m is bad, not impresive.

No. Ps4 sales haven't been impressive in Japan. I agree with you on that. Though I think that is and will be a general thing for every home console (that isn't also a handheld) in Japan from now on.

It's really telling that 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.

 

Still, PS4 sales may improve a bit as the bigger games finally start releasing.
