Forums - Gaming - Will Sony's PlayStation 4 Be a Bigger Flop Than Nintendo's Wii U in Japan?

PS4 might be a big Flop because they are losing Dev and rely on 3RD party however who knows what they will release. Just some stupid looking Uncharted games and shooters and Movie simulated games where half of the game is you just watching and NOT playing. Nintendo will have the most fun games for all ages.

My Wii U and PC will have more actual fun games then PS4 Lol.. I can even see myself having more Wii U and PC games then on PS4 at this moment. I feel like my PS4 is a DVD for HollyWood type of games where half the time your watching and Not actully playing.

i think its fair to ask that question when its been out a year and a half like the wii u then , we can see its only been a few months  and its always like that when a systems launches untill they get games and as for me i play more on my ps4 than i ever did on my wii u. heck there is not many games for it only 1st party thats worth playing .



3DS & Wii U have Japan on lock. PS4 already fell of a cliff there.



I think it already is a bigger flop.... Considering some of the sales predictions from some on this site. I think I remember some saying it would launch to a million sales, then have huge weekly numbers. Well, neither has happened. I do think the ps4 will look up when actual games come out, but no system, will ever see huge success again in Japan. The last one was the wii. None will come close to the wii numbers in Japan again, the ps4 included.



I doubt it. The only reason why sales are slow there is because the game Japanese marketed PS4 game on the market right now is Yakuza 4, and i'm pretty sure it has a PS3 version.

I still doubt that the PS4 will flop in japan ...



PS4 Doooooomed.
Wii U DOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!
XBox One DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!
GAMING DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!



I like that the thread title asks a legitimate question. I don't like that the content of the original post is an unrelated rant that has seemingly been written by a 6th grader.



No way to know for now. Only 1 full game has been released so far and it was a multiplatform game that appeared on both the Vita and the PS3. Will Phantom Pain, KH3 and FFXV not muster sales? I doubt that.

OT: Most Japanese developers are still making games for the PS3, even if there is a game out for PS4 they can get it on PS3 anyway so they have little incentive to upgrade.  Sony has to be the one to start funding these games and pushing Japanese developers away from the PS3 and to the PS4.
