With the current library i'm even surprised it can pull above 10-15k sometimes weekly.
The transition from ps3 to ps4 didn't go as smooth and quick as in the west.

Will have to see how PS4 holds up. PS3 was really rough for like 5 months after Gundam Musou launched.

What i was thinking. 2014 is going to be rough for the PS4 there, but once Japanese companies make the transition in 2015/2016 I could see it becoming the dominant console on the market in Japan.

Yup, Japan is dead. They clearly don't care. Hopefully Sony isn't shipping too many units over there, might as well send them to places that actually want them

Games likes FFXV will give it a boost but, imo, it's pretty much done for. It'll be lucky to do half what the Ps3 did

I wouldn't pick up a PS4 if I lived in Japan either. There's really very little to tempt you.

Though, I thought the same about the western launch and yet here we are.

Bigger games will salvage some kind of stability for the console but the dedicated home console market in Japan is rapidly contracting.

(And yes, Shadow, I remember your numbers that you post that say that isn't the case :P)

Anyone else get a sexual vibe from that crossing? Seriously, like its porn for sales enthusiasts.

Hopefully the JRPGs come in and spurt its growth, just like with the Vita

It's kind of stumbling instead of sprinting to the lead...

and the line will be crossed again when Ps4 has its first holidays.

In the long run it'll do well I think. Nothing for the Japanese to play at the moment in all fairness.
