| Lawlight said: It is the second biggest country in hardware sales due to sheer population size. And even then that's only with regards to hardware. When it comes to software, if we look at vgc, in 2016, the UK, France and Germany all sold on par with Japan. Including digital, PS4 software sales in the these EU countries far exceeds Japan, despite having a much lower population and lower installbase. On top of that, Sony first party games sell better in the west, which means more revenue for them. Conclusion, Japan isn't th second biggest country for them. Probably 5th. |
Sheer population size is a positive, not a negative. I didn't realize Japan didn't have digital software downloads. Sony first party sells better in the west? Aren't they almost exclusively western titles...?
Thanks for your conclusion.
