Problem with amazon in Japan is we seen things "sell out" and mean nothing. Vita tv ... Vita... Wiiu ....

You're right. PS4 going to flop confirmed?

If that's not your point, why even try the comparison?

Op is trying to make it seem there is this crazy demand based on amazon. My point is amazon can't be used to judge demand. My point was on topic.

That's just it, the OP is not trying to make you think anything. It's just reporting what has happened and you're allowed to make off it what you think. It's not ethomaz that wrote the OP, you're just assuming things.

At least more 4.

Yea, I'd go with 5, since there were two different batches around the time the PS4 was made first available.  Also, according to the first article, launch stock might not be too big of an issue, as they extended the time people could preorder and still get it launch day.



Vita did around 320k at launch. I don't see why PS4 won't beat that number, and the excuse of "not enough games that interest japanese audience" doesn't matter because in that respect Vita launch was even worse.

Considering Sony delayed Japanese launch, I'm sure it was not only for better japanese games but for more shipments at launch too.

I'm still expecting 400-500k units sold 1st week, and around 700-800k at the end of March.

I understand that point and agree completely. You'll understand that it didn't quite come across that way.
