Funny because we wont have to wait for years for them

KH3 is really advanced in it's developement, already in full production since months, so it could very well be released in 2016.

And Final Fantasy XV is scheduled for a release before April

 

Being disrecpectful would be doing what you do , unless it's not on purpose but in that case, sorry, your logic is flawed, i explained you but you just dont want to accept multiplatform of games not even that big cant be compared to the effect a real big exclusive system seller would have, i cant believe you dont understand such simple logic, for me it's just bad faith

Where the fuck did I say that multiplatform games have the same effect that an exclusive would have? Please tell me. I said that those games were system sellers, and they were. That is a fucking fact.

You are being condescending as hell for no reason. I understand you have the need to defend Sony to death, but this is uncalled for. Control yourself.

When you said they were big system sellers because you answered to my " big system sellers" by giving me multiplatform games, it just mean you compared them to the effect an exclusive big ssytem seller has, simple.

 

Like i told you i'm only like that with people showing bad faith, people you cant argue with since even in front of the most clear and simple fact, they will still take you for a fool and just ignore what you said , maybe if you could control your honesty, it would be easier. The only thing i defend here is common sense, again



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

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

 

Honestly I have no idea what IPs Sony makes that actually sell in Japan. Sony makes western games. I just don't think that there will be a PS4 game that Sony makes that will really drive PS4 sales. Meanwhile Nintendo is punching out games that sell.



It's possible, but Japanese devs are going to need to step up to make the games the Japanese people want and make a lot of them. Western games sure aren't going to do it.

I definitly would like to see it. I liked the evolution of western games, but Japanese games alwyas had something special. A formula that seems to be a special kind of pleasure when playing a game and done right.

Japanese gamers and developers are increasingly shifting toward mobile gaming and the utter failure of the Vita is partially to blame. Honestly, I think that it is impossible for Sony to reverse their fortunes in the handheld market and all they can really hope to accomplish with the PS4 is to maintain the PS3's market share.

The wiiu and 3DS get not many games for the rest of the year, playstation gets every month a new japanese game. It will continie that way until the NX launches. That list also shows top not overall system software sales

 

It shows the top 100 best selling games. Aka, essentially the only games of the year that sold well enough to give a damn about (considering number 100 sold 81k, anything beneath it isn't anything to be concerned about).

But you know what, I will humor you and add up every single sale of those games and compare Nintendo and Sony. This is obviously what you want, right?

Nintendo (3DS & Wii U): 51 Games / Units Sold: 23,049,103

Sony (PSV & PS4): 49 Games / Units Sold: 7,954,327

The thing is, the games that the PSV and PS4 typically get don't sell over 1m, or even 500k. Like, just last week the PS4 got DMC4, but that game will be lucky to reach even 100k LT. And the Vita recently got The Legend of Heroes, but that probably won't even reach 50k. Meanwhile, the Wii U hasn't gotten a new game since Splatoon but that's nearing 400k and the 3DS just got Rhythm Heaven, which is close to 300k by now and it's getting Fire Emblem this week, which will open around 350k.

The stipulation that you just created that Nintendo gamers just don't buy games and Sony gamers do is horrendously wrong, I almost feel bad that I had to spell all of this out.

Edit: And if you think Sony will sell more games than Nintendo this year (in Japan) with games like Monster Hunter X, Yo-Kai Watch Busters, Yo-Kai Watch 3, Fire Emblem Fates, The Great Ace Attorney, Animal Crossing: HHD, Dragon Quest VIII, Super Robot Wars, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Mario Maker and Illusory Revelations on the horizon with Splatoon, Rhythm Heaven, Dragon Quest X, Xenoblade X, Mario Party 10, Girls Mode 3, Puzzle & Dragons, Bravely Second, etc. recently released, then you're sadly mistaken.


Youre mistaken you listening them together but it still doesnt add all the sales. And second its another fact that sony games are bought a lot more digitally, and third are nintendo games cheaper they cost 40$ while ps4 and ps3 games are more expensive. 

Check this article out by a user here named ryuzaki he called it out way ealier how nintendo is struggling in japan soon enough.

I've read that article. It's biased and makes no sense.

There is no way you can spin 21m vs 5.5m. Sorry.

Edit: And no, it doesn't add all the sales, but do you really think that the rest of the games not on the list added up enough to make up the 15m gap? Seriously? Be rational here.

Sony's intentions are nice, but they're not taking back Japan with a home console. Japan has changed.

NX will probably outsell the PS4 in about a year (provided it is a fusion portable-console line) without too much fuss.
