Forums - Gaming - PlayStation 4 outsells Wii U this week

1. I have no idea what is trolling.

2.I was giving facts.

nothing you will say will change the fact that the ps4 sold more.

these sales figures are a fact.

I was only saying i don't understand why people say ps4 is a failure in Japan

It's only been 3 months since the console has been released and is outselling the Wii U.

1. Trolling was defined in brackets in the previous post.

2. Unfortunately, what you were giving were not facts. Please read this http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5909056 from the guy who provides the figures, which explains exactly what the VGChartz figures represent.

Once you have read his post you will understand that they are not actual sales figures, and cannot be used to say that one console sold more than another in this particular instance.



While I understand the op was a sarcastic post, If people honestly believe that the Ps4 will flop in Japan then they are fooling themselves. Heck, the PS3 is still getting tons of Jrpgs that Japan loves, so why would they leave that and go to the PS4 where there are no Jrpgs at the moment? I am willing to bet that once Japanese Devs migrate to the PS4, we will see the Japanese buying up the PS4. Especially considering it is much cheaper than the PS3 was at launch, and that they will be able to connect with their Vitas. I just can't believe people are really thinking that Metal Gear, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, and Resident Evil will have no effect on sales lol.



 

everyone was so convinced PS4 was going to absolutely dominate Wii U in Japan, thats why most consider it a flop at this point.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

It's been only 3 months!

That's too early to decide if the console is a success or not.

We need to wait at least a year and then see the sales figure.

The Year 2015 sales figures would be a good time to see which console does better in Japan.

At the moment only 3 months after launch it's too soon to know.

Not only is that an incorrect claim, it also makes no sense.

how is it incorrect? Alot of people thought PS4 was going to come along and kill Wii U. And how does it not make sense? People are calling it a flop in Japan because it is selling much worse than expected.

First off who is this everybody you speak of thats a sweeping generalization: http://www.logicalfallacies.info/presumption/sweeping-generalisation/

It took the PS4 5 months to outsell the Wii U worldwide, the PS4 has been in Japan for 3 months, in a market where it has little games to compete against the Wii U which has a much larger marketshare relative to the rest of the world. People calling it a flop are simply making the same mistake as those who said the Wii U would crush the PS4 and XB1 Worldwide. Their is insufficent information and we haven't seen the PS4 in similar scenarios to the Wii U yet, i.e holidays i.e system sellers.

Unrealistic sales expectations based on improbable actual sales doesn't make the impossible a reality, giving the Wii U 1year 5 months and Smash and Mario Kart, but cutting off the PS4 at 3 months is simply moving the goalposts. You can't call something a flop yet if it hasn't had a chance to fail. Assuming we've got a short gen, the PS4 literally has 69 more months 2300% of its lifetime, is completely ignored because some people want to believe that the Wii U is still going to be like the Wii.

Now that the Wii U has been outsold world wide, gap increasing, effectively making the year they had worthless, the only hope to cling to is that Wii U is still ahead in Japan, a hollow "victory" because its only a matter of time.

Sorry, I tend to try and ignore and not get into any back and forth with agenda'd users, no matter their side.

Understandable, especially when one has so little to bring forth.
