I'd hope that Ground Zeros next week and A Realm Reborn in a month, can give a big push.

I dont think the original poster understands supply shortages. Can't have high sales if there's no consoles to buy on the shelves.

The problem is that he understands it in fact well and knows that those sales are not that great when it has pointed out that their are no shortages...

Sony is selling out every PS4 they have manufactured as the fastest selling console as of date given its relative time being on the market, and some cannot cope with it. We need to talk about it.

much better topic! lets talk about that! and also throw in the point they far exceed their forecast of 5mil for march mth end!

The market... is... GLOBAL.........

But the Japanese market is important because it already has showed us that a lot of J-devs feel more secure with developping for handhelds/smartphones... Low sales for PS4 in Japan can lead to more devs jumping ship to handhelds/smartphones or making games for the Western market that is hated by some J-game lovers...

Ummmm. Not really.

Based on what exactly? Because all we saw last gen was complaining how some Japanese games don't release on consoles (think the latest valkyre chronicles) and how some franchises were not more made for the japanese market but were aimed at the Western market (resident evil)...

Biggest loss for me is the SMT franchise, or I must have missed something but except persona their is nothing on the consoles while their were so many on PS2..
