If there was not for Infamous Second Son, PlayStation 4 would have tanked even further and Wii U without any major releases tops it by 2K+ which is amazing and it would have been maybe over 4K if Infamous wasnt released on PS4. Sony next will probably bend over, 3DS/Wii U 0721 PSV/PS4... Swallow the pride ...

But Wii U now after one year and a half should be booming in Japan but has zero games in top 20 of media creates and sold only at 9k.

Situation is much more worrying for Wii U than for the young and promising PS4.

irrelevant PS3 + young with no japanese games PS4 = 15K

Theoretically booming Wii U = 9k

That's really how people should compare Sony and Nintendo home consoles in Japan. I am sure MK8 will surely sell lots of Wii U but for how long?

So, people should be combining two Sony console's sales together against just one from Nintendo?

And MK8 isn't the end of the WiiU's advantage in Japan.  Believe me, PS4 is gonna need that help from its older brother regarding sales comparisons once games like Hyrule Warriors, Smash, X, and SMTxFE show up (not to mention other, smaller exclusives like Bayo2 and Fatal Frame).  The PS4 won't be so youthful anymore when it does finally start to gain on the WiiU - probably not until well into next year.

I must be misreading this, and I apologize if I am, but...

What is the "estimated 2014 sales" column for? The numbers are far too low to be for the year to date surely.

I suppose they start counting on March 1st, which is the beginning of the fiscal year in Japan

Not that I'm agreeing with him, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you added Wii sales to WiiU to do your own comparison (because it wouldn't change the result).

I assume the point he's making is that in the home console space, it's not the end of the world if PS4 doesn't take off immediately because the PS3 still has some (minor) life left in it - at least until 2015 judging by the release schedule.

Whereas the Wii has been dead since before the WiiU launched, pretty much.  And Nintendo have done nothing major to usher in the WiiU as its replacement.

there is no Wii U game in Media Crete because they don't count download cards. Look at Famitsu and Dengeki

Oh, I get that, and I agree with you.  

But in his post he basically says that things are looking worse in Japan for WiiU than specifically the PS4 by insinuating that after MK8 sales die down, PS4 will somehow have an advantage.  While it's certainly possible that the PS4 will eventually beat WiiU in Japan, there are still several things that will keep it at bay for quite a while in that region.
