So? Does that negate that they are still dramatic for the Japanese market? No it does not. Does it also negate the fact that sales of consoles suddenly dip in Japan over the course of even half a year? If no, then what does your first paragraph have anything to do with my point?

As for the 2nd point, that's the thing I'm saying. I'm saying PS4 sales will drop by a significant amount while you are contradicting that. I am saying that looking at previous consoles in Japan while you are probably looking at it from how it does in the rest of the world where the decline is much slower. We shall see who's right.

 Either way PS4 has no ammo that can dent the Japanese market at this point. No huge games for Japan nor the possibility of a dramatic price cut. I mean they were selling cheaper PS4 consoles with TWO games. How far can they increase the value of the box? Next year is not gonna be good for overall consoles sales but the switch will be rocking. That much is quite obvious. Of course I;m making prediction's realising the fact that o I can be dead wrong and PS4 sales increase yoy. But whatsw the point of making a prediction of you know with 100% certainty you are right. That's call foreshadowing and not predicting

All I was doing was putting a damper on your hyperbole. You're painting a picture that is not reality, imo.

You're saying that it'll sell less than 1.3 million in 2019, (you didn't give a number, just a lot of non-specific language like "significant drop") but predicting something in the 1.3-4 range is a fairly moderate prediction. There's more than enough announced in addition to guarantees later in the year (new COD, Battlefield, etc) that do very well on the platform. For a platform that has several 250k+ sellers left and a few 500k+ sellers, I think you're a bit down on the platform. 3DS and Vita were down so hard because games stopped releasing and/or their successor hit the market. PS4 will still be getting every relevant major release (not published by Nintendo) for the next 2 years.

I'll say 800k to a mil. There you go. Call of duty never caused a growth in the japanese console hardware neither do the ones I know that are coming to pS4. No MonHun, no dragon quest etc. I'll eat crow if i'm wrong(please don't take this literally since I can't eat crow for religious reasons) but you have to eat crow if you're wrong.
