If no, pretty impressive to sell 900k bricks.

Few, but you made a point about the bricks, the Dragon quest heroes bundle released and did +30 with the game not releasing for another 2-3 months...

But the PS4 sales will (hopefully) being great in 2-3 months with games releasing as FF type zero/FF X-X2 port/Resident revalations 2/Bloodborne/dragon quest heroes/Ultimate streetfighter IV port/Yakuza zero/Disgaea 5 and more...

@GameChaserBE

Yeah, I found it pretty weird to release the Metal Slime edition with the game still being in the works.

I'm really curious how the PS4 will perform once the games you mentioned get released.

I think it should make it to 1M if we include New Year week. What has really held the PS4 back is that Japanese developers seem to be so stubborn to move on from last gen, still pumping games our for the PS3. Same thing happened with the Vita. Fortunately, it looks like 2015 may be the year they finally move on. The Vita and PS4 seem to be getting really good Japanese next year.

Ground Zeroes but that's a pretty short one. I guess free indies and the limited appeal of Western style games is good enough over there for a little bit of sales (in addition to obvious big launch numbers)
