PS4's sales in Japan will be pretty good in 2014 and probably a bit of 2015 as well, but they won't mean that much in the long run.  You guys may hate me for saying  this, but I don't expect the PS4 to reach PS3 sales in Japan. I actually think Japan will be the only region where the PS4 will sell less than the PS3.

Nahhh, that place will cannibalize what nintendo had.

Since this is a sales site, and Sony and Nintendo are from Japan, of course I'm interested.

I'm definitely interested to see how it goes. Always keep track of how things go in Japan for the platforms since Japan is where my favorite games come from and I'm always happy to see Zero proven wrong again so that should be fun.

I'm moderately excited. I've met a few people who have preordered it, but it's really hard to anticipate how much it's gonna sell at launch. I'm gonna say 325,000.

Here to keep track of sales so yeah, curious how this works out.
400k launch, after that dissapointing sales weekly but steady. Just as the ps3 did.

Don't live in Japan, so not really. Definitely interested to see the numbers for first day and week sales for their launch though.

OF COURSE!!!

What.....? is that a Starbucks Coffee I see in the background? I thought American products don't do well in Japan? So that means the PlayStation will do well. Okay. 


You are incorrect. Apple for example is loved in Japan.

Its all about the company. Greedy company that doesnt think about their customers andalso names their system Death box is never gonna see sucess in Japan. Imagine if the Xbox was called Death box in the US. Do you think it would do as well? Thats the kind of disdain Microsoft showed the Japanese. They responded in kind.

 

I was using sarcasm, baby. Sarcasm.

it too soon to say that PS4 sales will not reach PS3 or even PS2 level. It depends on a lot of factor such as the game library, Sony support as well as the general economic situation of Japan. But based on the current of sales of PS4, I think it gonna surpass PS3 sales, but it cannot reach PS2 level :v
