Yeah not sure why everyone thought the PS4 would automatically do well in Japan just because it was doing well in other regions. Saw the average sales coming a mile away along with the lackluster software offering for Japanese gamers

By the way.... the PS4 should finally reach the average prediction of the VGC community for 1st week sales next week in its 5th week.

(I removed the top 5 and bottom 5 predictions to make it fairer on the PS4 as there was some silly 1m plus predictions)

Does anyone have a link to this thread to put it into context? How bad were the bottom 5 predictions?

I'm not a fan of generalizations so It would be good so in the future I dont make ridiculous comments blanketed against a community or "fanbase" and can engage in discussion with individuals without using toxic generalizations to incite unhealthy and pointless discussions. Thanks in advance!

Everyone predicted waay to high, It outsold my preditct (250k) so I'm happy.

Which after 4 weeks is irrelevamnt. Its isnt sold out now and it wasnt last week.

Its first 4 weeks are worse than the VIta, the WiiU and the 3DS. A lot worse. Nobody expected that.

But it apparently isn't important: nothing negative is important when it involves Sony. In fact, Sony fans might mobilize people to report your post as trolling because NOBODY ever has to hear anything negative about their console or company on this site, apparently!

lol where did that come from? I dont see anyone in here saying low sales in japan isnt important...

An unnecessary post imo.

What was the reason for little to no drop in PS4? I didnt think there was a stock issue. There wasnt any new software and MGSGZ is next week.

It was supply constrained. famitsu even reported it. Mediacreate also said it was was constrained in areas. The reason for no drop is yet to be seen. MGS5 will raise sales next week.

Glad to see the usual suspects downplaying sales

the guy made a thread yesterday about layoffs at sony. It consisted of the link to the report of the layoffs and directly under it him saying sony fans refusing to see the situation their favorite company is in and the ps4 isnt the savor. It got locked

The PS4 held better than I expected, I thought it was going to be less than 25k.

Youkai Watch and Kirby are both holding very well. Kirby's more of a reasonable hold, but Youkai Watch is an amazing one.

Seems as though PS4 numbers are still falling, albeit slower than last week. I wonder when it'll reach it's base number. Maybe it'll be 18k-20k? That seems plausible. (3DS HW numbers...lol.)
