Not exactly a stellar FW for 3D World. :/ One can only hope for some Mario legs at this point. I had expected something disastrous like 5k for Taiko so 20k doesn't sound too bad.
Vita dropped like a rock from 90k to 29k but with Vita TV marching towards irrelevancy it's not unexpected. Standard model went from 46k to 21k.

You can't seriously be asking me that question. Oh, you probably can since I know you, but... Nothing for me to say here except "wait for it". |
No offense but I think Sony fans have their own delusion going on here.
What Japanese games does the PS4 even have coming out for it in 2014? Like 2 notable ones? The rest are all Western developed games, lol.
I could see it having a good launch week just because I think Sony not launching in Japan probably felt like a slap in the face to some PS3 owners and they'll come out to support the launch (you don't want something until you're told you can't have it, that sorta thing), but long term ... I'm just not seeing it.

The PS4 :D
Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

Japan doesn't care about Sony's $99 home console, why would they care about their $399 home console?

I'm sony fan, and i expect a great launch for ps4 in japan, around 300-400k units 1st week, but like WiiU I expect ps4 to drop like a bomb during the year....Despite that i think it will do better than WiiU.
Wii U with Mario+Wii Party selling less than vita????

Yakuza, Dynasty Warriors are two pretty big franchises. You're not seeing anything that the PS3 didn't have? Uhm, how about a game you just mentioned...KH3. And PS3 didn't launch with strong Japanese franchises, but PS4 will. This is basically what everyone against the PS4 said about Western sales as well. It has no big games, who will buy it over PS360 etc. First of all, the system will sell on its own merits, second of all it is way cheaper than PS3 was, and lastly it has bigger games coming out sooner. You're forgetting that MS and Nintendo stole much of Sony's potential last gen in Japan (MS by stealing JRPGs early on and Nintendo by selling well). Tearaway? It did not launch this week in Japan |
I hope you're right....you give me some hope Pezus!!!, but i will believe it when i see it...

Kingdom Hearts III will launch in like 2016, lol, that's a long ways away most likely. Besides I think S-E has screwed up that franchise so much by delaying this game that its probably lost a good amount of its appeal. What are we talking about here? Like 12 years in between KH2 and 3? A lot of people have moved on.
Final Fantasy in general I think is a fading brand overall. FFXV might do its usual 2 million, but I wouldn't be surprised if the benchmark for future FF games on console are now solidly under 2 million per entry going forward in Japan. Square-Enix again has screwed that brand.
Tearaway, I can smell the bomba already. Unfortunately it's been a bad period for platformers in general, even Mario is getting weighed down.
Final Fantasy Lightning Returns: Kinda bomb (expected)
Super Mario 3d World: kinda bomb (expected, but traditional legs for Mario games may make it not too bad)
Vita TV: bomb (expected)
Taiko WiiU: Big bomb (now that was surprising)
It seems that only 3ds, Pokemon and Monster Hunter 4 are surviving......

Never listen to phenom when it comes to sales predictions. If you remember that motto, you will do OK ;o. Soundwave is just someone that doesn't seem to be informed about PS4 in Japan. |
Roger Roger.....XDD
