To be honest I think Sony should've just waited to launch in Japan until March or even April. There's barely any Japanese games for the system and the inventory would be better served building up as much of a lead in North America and Europe as Sony can muster. 

They have a demo of Metal Gear next month and then not a helluva lot for the next 6 months, sales are predictably going to go dry. 

Exactly, Look at the Rest of the World, after 3 months its being outsouled by the Ouya.

The sales tax in Japan goes up in April. The more time they could give themselves before then the better.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Well this isn't what I was expecting ... After the thought that Sony allocated so much stock for Japan just means that the PS4 may not be as all we had hyped up for.


Um, it's still sold out. In parts of Europe, it's sold out till March. Yea totally doomed...


It's still sold out almost everywhere. Sony is saying until April. Don't bother with him, we had this big thing  the other day and he just doesn't get it.

Then it probably has some production issues occurring ... I want NPD numbers for february to prove vgc wrong otherwise the PS4 might not be the real deal as we had hoped.

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

True, that there's not much Japanese content as of yet. But I think from a game developement stand point, it's an alright launch date. It gets an early install base going and most importantly early dev kits for developers and good word of mouth for easy console development unlike the PS3. Sony was to slow with their dev kits and launch last gen that they lost games like Vesperia, The Last remnant, launch date parity of Star Ocean, no Mistwalker games etc. This time around your going to see more Japanese content on that system imo.

I thought between 90% and 130% of Wii U, so that puts the final tally within my range.
