comon. there will be some purchase form people who dont know.
and if they realise they cant play the game right now, its a diffrent story, if u have to wait 1 week, or over 1 month.

 

Like with everything else, idiots have only themselves to blame.

26th February is when it releases in Japan.

Ok, thanks. SO we have Witcher 3, The Order, Bloodborne and this game releasing in February in Japan -- assuming those other three DO release there at the same time.



 

The PS5 Exists.

Isn't it only 300 of these initially?

so u cant play the game until february? or is the bundle the only way to play the game early?

The bundle includes a code, which becomes active on the game's release date in February. Sony is being very smart here and wants the bundle to get even more sales thanks to the holiday season.


so like the unity xb1 bundle. but not just 1 week. its 6 or more weeks. whats the exact release date?
not sure, how smart that is. could be postive, or negative.  but a sold unit is a sold units. doenst matter if the customer is a lil unsatisfied. so proably the best for sony

How is this negative except in your wishes? Why would the consumer be unsatisfied if everything is clear when you make the purchase? We're not talking about the X1 here.

Well, they can only blame themselves for buying something they know nothing about. The TV ad is pretty clear



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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

I hope this is the start of a good baseline for the PS4 in Japan. To be honest, the PS4's offerings in Japan has been abysmal this year and I was happy when SCEJA took the initiative in pre-TGS.

300 units aren't going to make a baseline for now.

It's not " only 300 units " but "300 units to pre order first " to evuale demand , so yes, it could start a good baseline for christmas, until february, the big month that will raise the baseline for a good time

300 preorders don't "evaluate demand", it is statistically insignificant given the "potential" market. The initial reasoning is nonsensensical. They are simply trying to drum up hype on a bundle that literally sells on nothing but hype because (a.) no game for months, and (b.) no promises long term have actually been given for anything DQ related.

(As an example) 15,000+ Bayonetta 2 FPEditions are how you evaluate demand as thats a much more statistically significant number as well as more in-line with the general "potential" market of WiiU in EU.
