That's disappointing, I was hoping PS4 could save the console market in Japan but it doesn't look it's going to happen. I still think it can achieve PS3 levels of success but that's about it. Nothing will ever come close to PS2 domination over there.

Lol my prediction was wrong.

I should have guessed lower.

Not as bad as US's drop, and PS4 is winning in US.

I have to point out that during week 2 it was still quite easy to find machines in Japan.

When I went around on Monday 2/24, not a single store was sold out. I also looked at a variety of stores on Friday, 2/28 and more stores were sold out, particularly of the camera bundle. In general though, a majority of stores had plenty of machines on 2/28.

Here is a picture I took in Osaka on 2/28:

Comparing japanese market with USA or Europe is your first mistake.

Your second mistake was thinking it's "doing fairly well."  These are worst than vita numbers.

People who are saying there are supply constrain are talking about a few stores. 

Initial shipment for PS4 is 370k from Famitsu, sellthrough 87% in first week.

if numbers are correct it's possible that it's still didn't sell it's whole shipment.

It could be, but I would think if Sony's production rate is 1 million per month then they should be able to ship 50K per week to Japan, 150K per week to the rest of the world and save 50K per week to build up for the Holidays.

People jumping to conclusions left and right!

Let's just wait a little more until we call it a flop or not, shall we?

Somebody already sayin Flop? o.O

Yeah, I already read "worse than Vita" somewhere in this thread.

Thats what you get when you launch with next to no appealing software.
