They´re really close to reaching 6 million WW.


5.7M without western sales the last two weeks. It will definitly pass it by next week if they havent already.

OT: Does famitsu track Amazon/online sales? I don't see how they could and most weeks they would be irrelevant and negligable anyway but online sales would be really important on launch week I would think considering its the easiest way to get one first.  That 350k estimate was due to the stock levels compared to the ps3 bit amazon didnt really exist then.

Kinda underwhelmed to be honest. Definetly not the Japan console saviour I wanted it to be :(. Oh well, I guess console gaming really is niche now in Japan.


I think this is as good as it´s gonna get, but take this into account: non holiday period, and home console wise, the third best launch, only behind the PS2 and Wii.Not mind blowing, but definitely a solid start.

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.


more like wishful thinking.

Well it was clearly more possible seeing how low the supply was in the west.

My expectations would've been lower if I considered that this is off season.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I know that the eu market is in sony hands now, but if its not sold out over there please take the stock and ship them to the forgotten land so that I don't have to wait for another 1.5-2 months to get mine :(

I'm sure it will do well the next few months with Ground Zeroes, FFXIV, Ground Zeroes, Infamous and Driveclub, but If Deep Down isn't releasing in the summer, I predict a mighty fall ahead.


Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
Deep Down
Watch Dogs
Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain
The Evil Within

Lily Bergamo

Final Fantasy XV
Kingdom Hearts III

All of these games appeal to the japanese market. PS4 will do fine.




Watch Dogs is an unproven new IP from a Western dev, most probably won't have a meanigful impact on Japanese sales.

MGS V, Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts won't release this year.

You're missing Guilty Gear Xrd from the list and a couple of smaller games. But overall, we can only hope PS4 gets some games annoucements, cause Western line up looks stellar this year even if mostly consisting of cross gen multiplats, but Japanese line up looks simply weak, and PS4 will plummet post FFXIV or possibly earlier if there aren't new games.



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

damn close, i predicted 350k



Not a bad start for sony over there... Congrats Sony



Praise the One.

Those are some fine sales, my good sir. It looks like it will put it up in right at the Wii U's sales or slightly above/below.

My guesses it will stay around 25k~ 35k in sales weekly.

Watch Dogs is still pretty high up on the preorder ladder in Japan though. :)
