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.

It's impressive that it's matching ps3 sales launch alligned.  2016 is tracking very well and it will end up coming close to ps3's best ever year of 1.8m. 

 

Next year and onwards will be good too.  The Wii U may be dead for a while but not for the last 15 months which is the headstart it had.  It also had an extra holiday.  Sales of ps4 are impressive and they will continue to be. 

You realise that PS3 had pretty bad first two years WW because very high launch price, so fact that PS4 sales matching PS3 in Japan actually isn't good, especially because PS4 is selling WW around 3x times better than PS3 in some time while only in Japan is only on pair with PS3.

Comparing sales one of the fastest selling console ever and sales of Nintendo worst selling console ever, and fact that PS4 need 2.5 years to pass Wii U numbers when in all other markets that was done in less than one year, telling us that are sales of PS4 in Japan are actually very unimpressive.

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.

Agree.
