Not bad for SSDelta. AR no Surge is definitely too high though : I've played it during the week-end and it's definitely the worst RPG this gen...

What?! Aw, and here I was excited about it. What issues does it have?

With Ps4 = 35k and Knack = 17k,..... it seems that the PS4 Knack bundles have sold out.

Knack hype really dissapeared fast, that it to say, if there was really a Knack hype in Japan at all

:P

Well at least it had some hype, unlike poor old Donkey Kong.

:P

So it wasn't supply last week that limited to to 60k, dropping to 35k this week kinda proves that really. I wonder what the floor level will be?

Have we got a first 3 week comparison for other launches in Japan?

Vita gets a nice little boost for a week. Decent.

The rest meh.

i think it was pretty obvious PS4 will settle in the 15K range long ago. it just isnt a console that catters to the japanese much. i wouldnt be surprised if it falls sub 10K either. not sure about the software that is coming out for it anytime soon so there might be something that is coming that could push sales, i dont know. but as i see it, PS4 well perfom pretty average this year in Japan, i think Vita and 3DS will easily outsell it most weeks. maybe Final Fantasy can change that if its good, i dont know. but PS4 wont light up the charts like it did in the west.

Yep pretty much what I've been saying in every japan PS4 prediction threads.

That being said there was A LOT of people on this site who were predicting some crazy numbers for PS4 japan. The software just isnt there and the japanese market has moved away from home consoles.

"notably"? It's doing absolutely terrible in Europe. Worse than Japan, considering the size of the market. On that note, PS4 is also notably doing worse in Japan than other regions, considering it just launched.

If VGChartz is to be believed (and where else do we even have numbers for Europe?), the Wii U is doing worse in Japan than in Europe by a good bit. You say considering the size of the market, but Europe's market not really that big. It's roughly the same as Japan, and even then I was talking about the totals to begin with.

I think you're not getting the point here, though. He was talking about how people think Japan is Nintendo's market. I was bringing up that the Wii U is weaker in Japan than other regions to point out the fact that Nintendo is in roughly the same position (as a whole) in Japan as it is in other countries in relation to Sony. Him bringing up PS4 & PS3 vs Wii U in other regions is irrelevant to this point.

I don't really care about your point, and wasn't even debating it. I was just debating that one sentence.

Here you say Europe is roughly the same size as Japan...EXCUSE ME? Did I read that right? Aren't you confusing the UK with Europe?

Europe is also the only region where they've shipped a negative number of WiiUs.

I explained myself with my response to Yakuzaice. Essentially, it was a mistake on my part.

Vita drops = Vita doomed
Vita rise = Vita saved
Vita drop = Vita doomed
Vita rise = Vita saved

Conclusion: Vita will be fine.

PS4 outsells every other console ever made = PS2 again!
PS4 drop = PS4 doomed

Conclusion: The PS4 must sell a million every 2 days or it's doomed.

The PS5 Exists.
