of course not autor. Japanese are waiting jrpg, mgs, gran Turismo, Monster Hunter on PS4 to begin buying.
Wii U is dead, PS4 is only 3month in Japan.

Nintendo fans are desperate to have some sort of win against Sony. Why not wait until some games come out. The PS4 has no Japanese exclusives and it launched in the middle of February. 

WiiU too... Cripple fight!



Dont lie to yourself, PS4 has no japanese exclusives, Wii U has several exclusive japanese system seller : NSMB WIi U, Mario 3D World, Wii Party U, and with the release of Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors, and maybe SSB, yes it is common sense that Wii U should stay ahead, the opposite would be very worrying for nintendo. So yes, like he said, useless comparison, wait for the games to come on PS4





Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

PS4 looks dead as well currently so there's that, tracking behind WiiU at the same time as well

Doesn't change the fact that WiiU will dominate the PS4 in Japan for the next month or so.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

What does that have to do with anything? You do realize this thread isn't about Japan sales for June, correct?

It seems like they've switched character traits from the Sony fans of last gen.

This thread is about Japan sales. What does your question have to do with anything? Explain how I went off-topic?

Point is that the PS4 is flopping in Japan hard right now with no forseeable end to it for the time being. If it sucks in the short-term, chances are good it'll suck in the long term too. It's this thing called "Inertia".

It's called having no appealing games at the moment. Once Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III come out, you will see the true potential of the PS4 in Japan.
