""""This is flat-out PR Spin. During a pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference. Sony’s Asia president Atsushi Morita claimed that Sony owns 78% of the market share in Japan for ‘home consoles.’ However, Sony combined the PS4 and PS3 numbers against just the Wii U.

Sony completely ignored the Wii, and declined to give a market share update on the PS Vita, even though the PS Vita is the currently Sony’s best selling system in Japan. Nice PR spin there Sony. You guys don’t own 78% of the Japanese home market. You can’t combine a 7th and 8th generation system, then leave out the competitions’ 7th generation systems. Especially since Wii software is still selling in Japan like Super Smash Bros Brawl and Dragon Quest X.  

Here are the numbers 8th gen: 
Wii U -1.9 million 
PS4 -670 Thousand

7th Gen: 
Wii – 12.7 million 
PS3 – 10 million

Portable: 
3DS – 16 million 
PS Vita – 3.1 million (133K for PS VitaTV

This just made a minus for me from Sony. Not cool. Apparently it's not the first time they twist things for the public, either.

Dissapointing.

are u angry?

Oh well, maybe next time, Nintendo should include wiiU + wii (and maybe even 3ds) % against only ps4 but yea, what can you do right?

Dissapointed. Also you should be ashamed if you support that thing that Sony does sometimes...

.. or the people just don't understand japanese and are jumping to conclusions

what they said on stage is that they had "78% market share in the period since the PS4 launch", which ofcourse is spin aswell (as it sold a lot of consoles in the first few weeks and then slowed down a lot; and doesn't include WiiUs similarly strong launch period), but probably accurate

In 2014...

I dislike that website very much.

Looks like everyone else busted everywhere else lol.

2014 figures or weekly.

We can't do anything!
