Forums - Sony - So is PS4 "saved" in Japan?

You can't just say one side of the story.

Also, DQ musou will do basically the same that Hyrule W did in Japan.

It should sell considerably more than HW simply because it has the DQ brand attached to it.

Zelda is a pretty unpopular series in japan, when stacked against DQ.

Almost nothing can "save" the PS4 (or WiiU for that matter) in Japan, but it should certainly sell a decent amount better than it has been.



decent 2015 lineup

waifu sim 2015 is going to move a lot of hardware.

Not even Final Fantasy XV will help the PS4 as much as that!

3-4 exclusives won't save it.

Nothing will save it, but it was always probably going to outsell the Wii U anyway.

Nintendo has like three big console exclusives in Japan -- 2D Mario, Mario Kart, and Smash Brothers. And they've basically used two of them up already with the third one coming in December, but that will likely (in Japan) be overshadowed by the 3DS version + New 3DS launch.

Sony already had FFXV and Kingdom Hearts 3 (which mind you are bigger than anything they announced today), but throw in MGSV, Bloodbourne, Persona 5 (cross gen), Bio Hazard, and Dragon Quest Heroes (cross gen) and it's likely they'll beat the Wii U in the long run.

Not that it'll matter much, I don't think either console is sniffing even PS3 level sales this gen, Vita will outsell both.

I think in Japan amiibo will be a hit, but it will be driven more by the 3DS, especailly since it launches with the New 3DS which makes owning a Wii U for that reason moot. 

Waifu sims on Morpheus is Sony's X factor, guess we'll see on that. 



Most excited I have been about the system. Now the wait for localization announcements.



Theres a lot of Nintendo fans in here that have always trashed the PS4, good lord there's a ton. PS4 is going to do amazing now, sorry but Wii U (while it's still good and I still plan to get one) had its run. Persona 5 is the most anticipated game that Japanese gamers have voted for in Famitsu, look it up. The list of games in Japan is crazy.

Final Fantasy 15 (top 5 most anticipated in Famitsu voted by gamers, and its final fantasy, it always moves consoles)
Kingdom Hearts 3 (top 5 most anticipated in Famistu by gamers)
Persona 5
Yakuza 0
God Eater 2 (500k in one week on Vita)
Dragon Quest Heroes
Bloodborne
Metal Gear Solid TPP
Gundam
Senran Kagura
Deep Down
Final Fantasy Type 0

If you truly believe that this will not move consoles at all then your delusional and are in denial.

Consoles are doomed in Japan period. Nothing is saving them. Accept that and move on.

It'll boost the baseline sure, but nothing is saving the console business over there.

I honestly doubt PS4 + Wii U combined can sell 10+ million there. 


Entirely this post! ^^^^ Looked so good I had to share it.
