This list is missing big stuff.
Where is Uncharted and The Order?

It's not really that big games when we talk about Japan



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

It's hardly big in japan though.


Don't change the fact that they will be there to people to buy it next year.
Considering Uncharted can cause a lot of hype after E3, it's likely it will sell decently in Japan.

Uncharted will sell decently for a westerm game but it won't boost ps4

Does japan even care about E3 ? not a rhetorical question.



I have my doubts that any of these games will sell well, as well as the Ps4 itself. Japan is a lost cause for home consoles.

False if a console had a great line up it will do well in Japan

It will sell more units in Japan then half of that list I suspect.

U3 and U2 done 200k each.  Some western franchises have become more popular in recent years, I'm thinking/hoping Uncharted will be one of them.

GTA V sold 800k on PS3 far higher then its predecessors, Im presuming its getting a PS4 launch over there In Q1/Q2. That should do very well too.

Probably,  I think it will contribute towards any future baseline anyway. Looking back at 2011, PS3's baseline was up 9% during uncharted 3's launch. The game debuted with 120k (bigger then I expected). Expect the bump to be bigger as the PS4 will still be relatively new when it launches versus the PS3 in 2011.

It could very well have a worse one. For one thing, Japan's economy has slipped into recession.

The other : PS4's first year in Japan hasn't been remarkably better than the WiiU's. I don't think Japanese consumers have soured against Nintendo or Sony any much more than the other.

Japan is heavily front loaded.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
