Why Did PS4 Sell Less Than PS3 in Japan?

[curl-6]

Yeah Sony hasn't really catered to Japanese audiences in a long time, their focus is squarely on American and European players with the likes of TLOU, God of War, Spiderman, etc.

From the 7th gen on, handhelds became powerful enough to run the kind of games they used to play on consoles, and more recently PC has been growing rapidly there, both cutting into Playstation's lunch.

For a lot of Japan, especially those who weren't around during the PS1/PS2 days, PS just isn't relevant to them.
