I blame the lack of Knack bundles. They are the only reason the PS4 is even relevant in Japan.

Very smart of OP to compare sales for a system that launched in February to systems that launched during the holiday period.

I know what you're saying, and I agree...but there's not really any other choicee because pretty much every other system came out in the holiday period, so such conclusions are almost guaranteed sadly.

Either way, this isn't the important time right now. What will be telling is, say, 3-4 months down the line. It needs to stay above 15-20k really, but 10k minimum I'd say would be quite the result.

Dec, and Nov. vs February, ok...

Come on guys, stop trolling. You cant compare the PS4 to systems that launched in November and December. Lets compare it to a system that launched in February.

The 3DS.

3DS 2nd Week - ~210,000
PS4 2nd Week - ~60,000

Nope, Home Console to Portable comparison. Can't do that, particularly in Japan.

I expected better from you, Carl.

Ps4 in Na
963,127 first week
92,541 second week
DOOM!!!!!!



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

But nobody complained about comparing it to the Vita!

PS4 will do fine.

I'll guess it'll be the 5th best selling console ever in Japan, somewhere between the Wii and SNES.

This happened to the PS4 in every territory for that SINGLE week following the launch. They are out of stock. What do you expect? lol common sense much?

Sold out in majority of stores.. ps4 is hard to find. Tough to sell more thn whats being supplied.
