Of course Nintendo always had the handheld market on lock, but the Playstation took the world by a storm selling 100,000,000 (estimate) consoles that the competition could only dream of selling. With about 19,000,000 (estimate) consoles sold in Japan alone, PS couldn't be stopped and is one of the highest selling consoles of all time. Sony's next console "Playstation 2" was a even greater success. The PS2 sold more then the PS selling more then 150,000,000 (estimate) consoles. Again, competition could only dream of selling that many consoles worldwide. The PS2 sold 23,000,000 (estimate) in Japan, that's 5,000,000 more then the Playstation. Sony ruled its home turf in the console market. Fast forward to the Playstation 4. The PS4 launched in Febuary in Japan. While the PS4 holds the lead and doing very well in the United States and Europe, it's falling short in Japan. With the PS4 launch and seven months in, it currently sits at 600,000 (estimate) consoles sold. What do you think, has Sony lost Japan to Nintendo? I think they did. |
Or Japan lost consoles.
With the mess their culture is in for young men, few have the time or energy to spend on games nowadays, hence why only handhelds are sold in great numbers.
Outselling an utter failing system like Wii U is not winning. Being the best-selling home console system there with a figure that probably won't even get past 8 million units is not winning. There simply won't be a winner in this generation.
I apologize in advance for my bad english.
The Japanese market is always slow to adapt to new consoles, once the big franchises arrive, there will be a steady stream of games for the console. With that being said, big Japanese companies like SE and Capcom are getting more cowardly by the second. The market atm is in the hand of one of the worst managed companies in the world.

Sony lose JAPAN........ YES!!!!!!!
Zelda - Breath of the Wild for Nintendo Switch.... Incredable!!!
I guess that Sony can't lose Japan.
If we consider that there are no games for japanese, Ps4 is selling even too much

Nope, but you were talking about Sony which has both ps4+vita. I guess that means it doesn't apply to both? XD

No it does not because the PS4 doesn't have the kind of competition that the PSV has.

Yes it does, it has even more competition, but better marketing than the Vita.
