8th week 14,000
9th week 11,000
10th week 10,000
11 th week 9,000

This looks good.

Week 11 is golden week, so numbers should be up a little compared to normal.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

One would think that it's even less because Golden Week is usually a vacation where you spend time with your loved ones and travel instead of sitting at home playing with your console.



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

Every year the Japan numbers are up the last week of April and the first 2 weeks of May.

It will sell 20k-30k weekly until  the Knack bundles disappear. Those bundles are the reasons the PS4 is doing so well in Japan you know.

Probably around 8-10k in 2-3 months. No Japanese games to follow after launch and even into Q3-Q4 is really terrible.

It's gonna do well until after Golden Week, them I'm afraid there won't be much to sustain sales for a while.

I think Sony thought about the PS4 launch and planned it quite well for the first few months, better than on other occasions at least. But then the schedule loses a bit of steam:

February: Yakuza
March: MGSV:GZ
April: FFXIV
May: Golden Week
Now it gets tricky. June... Watch Dogs? (I don't know why but Japanese gamers are looking forward to this).
July: ???
August: Psycho Break, I guess.
September-December: Deep Down and... Lily Bergamo? Plus your average CoD, which does well in Japan.

I don't know, I don't see the PS4 sustaining great sales with these games. It's less than one "big" game per month. And by big I mean decent enough to move some units. I sure hope I'm wrong though.

So I'm gonna say it's gonna do over 25k per week until the usual post GW decline, and then it's gonna fall to 15k per week perhaps. Better than WiiU, but not really great.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Are you expecting that the next 11 weeks there won't be any new games? :O
