zumnupy10 on 25 August 2013

Having announced its PlayStation 4 (PS4) will be released in North Ameirca on November 15 and in Europe on November 29, Sony is expected to introduce the games console in Japan and Asia Pacific countries in late December, sources from channel retailers have speculated.

Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) Japan Asia is set to host a press conference on September 9, announcing the launch schedule for the region.

2014 release in Japan would be surprising for me. Everything pointed to a 2014 launch.

The Wii U can beat the PS4 this holiday in Japan through virtue of being present the entire time alone. That, and a better supply of Japanese-friendly games.



My friend is a Vtuber, check him out.

If not before the TGS should give the answer.

i honestly don't see the PS4 taking off right away in japan mainly cause the launch line up looks like it is just games that you don't see on top selling japanese games so they could be just waiting for a better line of games for the japanese before they release it in japan

We have to wait until TGS to be sure of this.

aside from kingdom hearts 3 and final fantasy 15 we don't know that many big japanese titles so hopefully TGS will some news on them

I feel like TGS might be a bit late.  Hopefully I'm wrong.

I believe most games announced at TGS will not even release in 2013.

Capcom already comfirmed that Deep Down will be shown at TGS.

I have a guess that Sega might show something for PS4, Maybe a new Yakuza game ?  But that's just a guess.
