Loll man, its amazing how low it really is! But they probably won't cause it is still selling even if its selling piss poor


What if the 800 units it sells becomes 200 units a week in say 2 months from now. That's about 30 units a day. How can they afford to pay all their staff for numbers that bad.

Small country, even in this sony land, ps4 sold 45k in 1 year time.. 12 months. We are poor and not many lol



It'd suck for the 45k owners of the system. MS is stubborn though - stores will stop devoting shelf space to those dust-collectors long before they pull out of Japan entirely.

I probably should edit my question to reflect that

Should they discontinue it in Iceland or Norway even though they don't sell many units there?

Just to illustrate how bad a question this is. Japan is treated like a tier 2 market, and even though it doesn't sell a lot, it sells much more than it does in some tiny markets/countries, but they still are present in those countries. Also, it's important to have a presence in Japan, however small, as it increases the chance to get japanese games, which a lot of people outside of Japan also like.

Of course not. There's no reason for them to try making Japanese games though.


Rock and a hard place.  if they dont pay big money for decent Japanese exclusives to boost sales then ps4 will keep getting almost all 3rd parties as exclusives.  Is final fantasy 15 ps4 exclusive in Japan? 

Nope, multi.

Have you a link?  Ff13 was ps3 Japan exclusive

Lets not bother selling consoles in Iceland, New Zealand, Monte Carlo, Luxembourg either too then.

Seriously, I wish they hadnt launched there, but now they have they wont discontinue it. Stores will stop stocking it though.

They don't. An Icelandic company has to import them.

Honestly I kind of wish they would. Might free up a bit of resources/money to be used in the west, where it has a presence. If 360 only managed a million lifetime over there, One's figures were always gonna be dreadful, even if MS poured money into it.
