Next up, the European regions. Have we got a chalkboard here?


No, no its China that we should look forward to, we know all those 2nd tier EU countries are Sony land. There won't be much excitement than there would be in China. 5M shipment in-coming!



Yikes that's bad. Oh well, they didn't even have any Japanese games so they were destined to fail. They're better off not even trying in Japan.

Or, maybe Microsoft should have released games that the Japanese consumers actually wanted.  Sony made a similar error but has more brand reconition and track record in Japan.  Don't blame the gamers because they don't want that sorry lineup.  Blame the platform holder.  

It like you selling something that people don't want... and they blaming them for not buying it.  

Wow.  The arrogance is real.  



Or...If MS doesnt give a shit about Japan, why Japan should give a shit about their console ?



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

More than I expected

.....that seems painfully low, BUT! I am uncertain what to compare it to. o.o Remind me, how many days has the Xbox One been out in Japan? Has it been a full week yet? Any chance of PS4 and Wii U numbers in the same period of time?

2012.12.08 [Nintendo Wii U] (¥26.250 / ¥31.500) - 308.570 (2 days)
2014.02.22 [Sony PlayStation 4] (¥41.979 / ¥46.179)- 322.083 (2 days)

 

you can guesstimate from here. :)
