It's a failure like Wii U, Vita and even 3DS is coming back to reality.


I hope your not calling 3DS a failure (i probably am misreading it), cuz its sold over 15mil in less than 3 years

Just pointing how it's even in decline the only good selling device. They cannot expect to surpass it.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

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

Cross-gen games won't do much for PS4. Final Fantasy XV and Deep Down are the only hope.

I heard that it isn't sold out in Japan. The problem is in Japan there will be no big games the next months and there are not so many games which fit in the Japanese culture.



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

Its funny to me that very few people think cuz 3DS is down alot year to year its selling badly. Oh well :-<

Again, when it comes to consoles in Japan... Who Cares!? They dont? Its a mobile/hand held market.

Even Sonys actions have shown that attitude, or it would have been there first.

Edit: Nevermind

I will say that Rol knows how to hit a nerve.


the best part of the internet is how wonderfully predictable it is..

Hmm should I answer seriously, or make a sarcastic remark about Knack? I'll go serious. I don't think anyone thought the PS4 would do gangbusters in Japan. Even the Wii had mediocre sales over there. Console gaming is fucked in Japan and nothing is going to reverse that trend. No console will ever repeat PS2 dominance over there. The market just isn't there anymore.

Now I don't think the PS4 is a "major flop", it should achieve PS3 level sales thanks to big titles like Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, GTA, and so on. Since the XBO is a non factor over there, and the WiiU's 3rd party support is nonexistent, that leaves PS4 as the only place to play major 3rd party titles.

I would really appreciate it if Japan throws away their smartphones and start buying consoles again. I'm sick of Square Enix putting fucking everything on mobile phones. I could have had Dragon Quest VIII on an HD console, could have, but now I can't.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

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 marcg mth end!


A exceed of 20% not that unimprecive, but not that fenomenal.

PS4 is already in every single market in the world, it dosen´t have much room to price cut that yearly.

As I said, PS4 needs games.

as i can agree with u  that ps4 needs games! u fail to realize march is not done yet and also last time i check 20% is a very good exceed!
