LOL wow you actually think wii u will be like ps2. I think you underestimate ps2 sales and impact on the gaming world. I doubt very highly it will be anything like ps2 in the way you reference. PS2 is still selling today until they stop making it. The wii by comparison is pretty much dead and will never have a lifecycle ps2 had nevermind wii u.

As you can see from this thread nintendo fans are dillusional, how quickly they forgot before the wii gimmick they were in last place, and wii-u is not going to sell close to wii numbers.

I totally agree these people are pulling everything out of thin air to bash on sony.  To moronic levels!

Vita is a bomb and the PS3 in six years hasn't even sold half of what the PS2 sold there, and software would be even worse (read: there isn't much of a market for high end HD games in Japan, look at Final Fantasy XIII's sales versus Final Fantasy XII).

The fact is Japan simply isn't a graphics-oriented market.

If you really look at most of the big IPs and/or break out hits in Japan -- Super Mario, Pokemon, Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest, Animal Crossing, Wii Sports/Fit, Brain Training ... most of them have average to even below average visuals.

PS4/720 I don't think will appeal to the Japanese at all, PS3/360 barely did.

The only "million seller" Japanese game in Japan that has relatively high end graphics is Final Fantasy, and even that series as a franchise is selling no where near its Final Fantasy VI/VII/VIII heyday anymore.

Japan has become basically a handheld oriented market with consoles being niche products. Ergo, it's irrelevant to both the PS4/720 for most intents and purposes.

Sony locked out of  japan that is the biggest croc of BS this side of FOX NEWS lol. Sony is from japan WTF! Sony will never be locked out of a country that they came from buddy! Where do these people come up with this crap. We will see the fate of nintendo this gen there a flash in the pan gamemaker when there hot with a gimmick it sells. I personally think the wii u will fair well but leave sony out of it they are entrenched worldwide and not going anywhere especially in japan.

Yes. Obviously Japanese people will buy Sony just because y'know ... they're a Japanese company. No other factors could possibly be relevant.

And yeah Nintendo and that whole Super Mario and Pokemon thing. What a flash in the pan, lol.

About as relevane as your post...................Sony being locked out of japan is one of the more laughable things a nintendo fan has said.

Obviously Sony HQ shares your coginitive dissonance (people will buy stuff from us just because we're Sony! Awesome strategy!).

It's why they haven't posted a profit since the George W. Bush years, and are largely irrelevant in the modern consumer electronics world.

That is  a weak trolling attempt, and nothing to do with the topic.

Nintendo doesn't even offer to the same base demographic that Sony does. Sony taps into multimedia as well as casual and core gaming. Now Sony and Microsoft are sharing 140 consoles between them. That is closer to Sonys marketshare than Nintendo will ever be.
