Umm no it wasn't, ps3 was the same way. The market is different now as well, things change. It's common sense, and anyone who is not in massive deniakl knows Final Fantasy , metal Gear, etc (Insert game here)...will greatly improve sales,

PS3 started slow worldwide. The price was probably an important reason. The PS4 starts extremely good worldwide - only in Japan it's bad. Japan was also fast to adopt the Wii, the PS2, the PS1. Still, I can see no reason why this gen should be different. It look more like every home console is struggling in Japan.

And if you read this forums carefully, you see that many claim that if you're not in massive denial it is clear Mario Kart and Smash will turn around the sales for the WiiU. And the two WiiU-games at least will release this year. Then will FF hit? Do you think it will matter anymore at this time?

Ps3 started slow for the same reason ps4 has in japan.......

 

The wiiu will geta  boost from MK and smash but ps4 wont from huge japan games liek Final Fantasy, Metal GEar? Resi Evil? LOL,.

 

If you want to be in denial, and eat crow in a year so be in, anyone who knows anything abotu the game industry knows ps4 will easily win japan. You think sony ahs nothing else lined up? Sony japan? Level 5, more projects? PS4 will have third party japan support, nintendon't.

Why should I eat crow, I didn't made any predictions or assumptions about the future. I only analyze the facts as they are today. And fact is:

1. PS3 started slow worldwide, while PS4 only does it in Japan.

2. PS4 numbers in Japan are horrible on an absoute scale (WiiU too), PS3 never did that bad.

3. If you talk about possible turnaround through games that are years away from release, than I'm not the one in denial.

4. WiiU currently HAS japanese 3rd-party support: Monster Hunter, Hyrule Warriors, Resident Evil, Bayonetta. What japanese 3rd-party support does the PS4 have? You hope for Level 5, but Level 5 is happily releasing games for 3DS. Just or fun, look at the sales of Youkai Watch. What for concrete projects are announced for PS4? And agaiN, FFXV might be bg, but it is far in the future, the sales for PS4 are bad NOW (Japan only naturally), and they will not get better with anything on the horizon this year.


Nintendos third party support from third parties pales in comparison to wii-u/

I actually love Nintendo.
And I love the Wii U.:)
Mario Kart 8 looks like a great game and i hope it does very well.
But let's not kid ourselves.
Ps4 seems to be unstoppable.
PlayStation 4 is simply destroying the competitors in all the territories.
I think the real console war is between
Microsoft and Nintendo for second place.

Except for Japan

LOL funny how only japan matters... Align the launcheds or no, ps4 will easily pass wiiu overall/

Hold your horses with all the *LOL* and the *ROFL*. Because at the moment, you're the only one that is getting laughed at with these kind of posts.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

People love to "align" the Japanese launches of the PS4 and the Wii-U and conveniently "forget to mention" the months they launched in are not the same.

Well, how many more units would the PS4 have sold over three months, if it had launched in late November? What do you estimate?

January and February are traditionally huge system sellers, don't you know?

I've noticed a lot of people here say the Wii U is doing much better then ps4 in Japan.but according to Vgchartz this week

PlayStation 4 sold 6912 copies.

Wii U sold 6776 copies.

The PlayStation 4 sold more then Wii U.

So why so many people say the Ps4 is doing so badly while it sells more then Wii U?

I would love to get some answers :)

tell me what you think.

 

 

VGChartz does not provide actual retail numbers. VGChartz provides estimates with a % of error. When two figures are as close as 136 difference, even when both estimates are in the 6000's, it is impossible to say for certain which system has outsold the other. The only reasonable assumption  for that particular week is that they both sold about the same.

Good for you they existed and were bumped here recently, it was pure comedy, it's the same thing with japan now. This thread is going to look foolish in a year or so.
