1 million is impossible. Those days already gone in Japan

I'm pretty sure Sony doesn't even have 1 million allocated to japan, at best they probably have 300k units ready for launch.
What Japanese games do they actually have coming out, isn't it just Yakuza?
I don't think they'll ship more than around 500k anyway and I don't think they would be able to sell 750k. If there was a Final Fantasy game coming soon, then I would be more inclined to think of 1m, but FF XV MIGHT come this year, but I'm not getting my hopes up
| Panama said: Nope. Japans changed dramatically since those days. They're the kind of people that actually get excited about mobile phone game announcements. Hell they're probably stoked about Breath of Fire 6. |
I will never understand anyone liking handhelds more than consoles for one sole reason...immersion. What's better than playing an awesome game on a tiny little screen with tiny little speakers? Playing it on a 70 inch screen, with surround sound lol.

... Have you already forgotten what happened to 3DS early on? What did Nintendo do? |
3ds had a better chance with no games than ps4. The japanese people have shown they will not pay money for a system over 200. The vita which is going to have better support than ps4 in Japan couldn't at the price of 3ds original price and was stronger. If you look at ps4 launch barely has any Japanese games and those that are on ps3. Remind you of something? Psp vs Vita. If you look post launch the system is having a bad drought. If anything looking at the decline of homo consoles and debt in Japan a 400 dollar console which forces 50 for only play doesn't look attractive. Why are people pretending that Japan is going crazy like the west over the ps4. Japan unlike other places lives and dies by the games and price.
Ps4 has neither. Sony themselves realized this.

It would be an amazing feat outside of the normal holiday season. I'm going to go with 700k 1st week.

It could be a matter of not having enough space.
