Most Playstation gamers in Japan are probably holding on to the PS3 until Persona 5 comes out later this year. Then you'll start seeing a shift to the PS4 as they wait for FFXV and KH3.

Depends if you are ok with 100 negative threads about Nintendo and Microsoft using some random blog posts of randoms nobody has ever heard about as topic of these threads or if you are not ok with that. If you are fine with that you missed not much and it shouldn't be a problem to have some negative Sony related threads as well. If you are against all of that then you probably missed that this is how gaming forums seem to work very often.
WAIT ?
Your the #1 selling consoles in all 3 major regions (As per VGCHARTZ), USA/ Japan/ Europe , and your Japan numbers are better than Wii-U + Wii + 3DS + XB360 all combined, yet the PS4 in Japan is considered a FLOP ??!!
Hahahahahahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Wait , this thread is a joke right, ?? RIGHT......
| RolStoppable said: Hey guys, I thought we need to talk about this: According to Famitsu, the PS4 sold 30,766 units in its third week in Japan. That's approximately 90k units below what the Wii U did during its third week. When we look at launch aligned LTD numbers, the PS4 has already fallen 150k units behind the Wii U. Let's be honest here, this is a MAJOR flop. Not even the typical system-selling power of Knack can turn this console into a success. Before the PS4 launch many people have said that Sony doesn't really care about consumers. Putting online multiplayer behind a paywall, among other things, indicate that this is the truth. So can we still say that Sony doesn't care about gamers? Let's take a look: 3DS's third week: 96.463 For further comparison, the Wii U sold 122,356 units in its third week. For Sony that's pretty much the equivalent of being proven to be dumber than an idiot. Now what? |
MMMk... Where to start lol.
First off. I hope you are joking about the "system-selling power of Knack". That's fallacy and entirely unproven. The only reason that Knack has jumped in sales is because of the PS4 bundle.
Secondly. It's far too soon to call it a flop.
Thirdly. You are comparing third week sales in March as opposed to December for the Wii U and Vita. The 3DS is a better comparison as it was released shortly after the holiday season.
Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
| GribbleGrunger said: How about we wait for when Sony can ship according to demand instead of having to ship to cater to the problem of console shortages. You might want to wait until the PS4 has some more Japanese centric IPs released there too. I remember a time when people called 'doom' after a year! I know, it's weird isn't it. All you need is 3 weeks of data ... |
the "japanese centric" IPs aren't releasing anytime soon for ps4, so good luck untill then.

context
We are only talking about the japanese sales in this thread, your "bestselling in the other regions" excuse is irrelevant.
And yes, the thread title refers to an old running gag...but it touches a legitimite point.
Your air of condescension is uncalled for.

You may want to go to math class again.

it's not a market changing (not entirely). it's more like people don't buying expensive hardware for games they don't want.
The gaming industry is full of flipfloppers.
