Congrats to PS4, but thats not something to be really proud of.Yes, the home console market has shrunk alot there, and yes it might pass the PS3(so LT sales at around 10 millions) but its still somewhat low to what other sustem are doing in that country, and more importantly, what the PS4 is doing worldwide.

The PS4 is going in the right direction to try to improve the situation managing to get titles like MH in the system, but honestly Sony needs to think of a better strategy to win over their home country back.

Part of the problem is the work environment in Japan. A lot of the Japanese work really long hours and make long commutes, which makes home consoles a much harder sell than handhelds.

Yeah, I have heard how pushy japanese can be with their work enviroment.Thats why I think that Nintendo was smart to adapt to the market, without really killing either their handheld or home console side of business.

This is not really bashing Sony per se, just that I dont think we should be praising something that simply isnt impressive.I mean, how much longer are we going to say that these numbers are impressive or superb if home consoles keeps selling less and less there?Are we really going to, assuming its another tradicional home console, say that 5 or 6 million LT sales for the PS5 in Japan are great because home consoles are dying over there?



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
