Decent.

Obviously nowhere near PS2 (roughly half) but a lot more than PS3 (for some reason they only had 100k PS3 available at launch)

I think this will sell similarly to PS3 in Japan in the LONG RUN, there just isn't the market there for home consoles now.




Wait are you telling me that ps2 did 600k in two days?! or you were talking about first week sales?

2 days. 630k

OT: Numbers are very decent, not spectacular but also not as bad as I was led to believe by some people. Especially on NeoGaf they were kinda hellbend on dooming that launch.

A Feb release in a mobile phone centric country with only Yakuza Ishin being it's best Japanese title (and available on the PS3). I guess the 300k launch sales was to be expected.

Next week sales will be worth the wait now.

How so? Isn't NeoGaf a sucker for everything Sony? Don't tell me i was lied to :(



Better than I expected, well done PS4. Now for the long, slow road to relevancy in the JP market. The first year is gonna be tough.



Solid start.Only the PS2 and Wii were higher, home console wise, so not bad at all.

So it did bomb huh...

I expected better but considering it is not the holidays it's probably the best we got. I hope it sells at least more in december.

I don't know, maybe I was just imagining it but everytime I went to their japanese launch thread you had all these people posting pictures of stores in Japan still having PS4s and people saying how nobody seems to care for the PS4 over there, I think some people even worried that it wouldn't break 100k.

Only a Final Fantasy XV bundle can sell more units than launch week.



with all that supply shortages I'm not so sure if ps4 can do more than 7mio till the end of march
I thought they would have handled the supply by now

Yep, Vgchartz slightly overestimated the launch, but Gaf totally underestimated. Overall we end up being the superior predictors!



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!
