Took more than 2 years...........k.


In Japan the ps4 has only been out 1 year and 8 months and has only had 1 holiday season so far.  

 

It's had a great 2015 and 2016 is looking to be a big year for it. 

 

At the start of this year people would have considered hitting 2m by years end an OK result.  It's now done that with 6 weeks of the year remaining.  I wonder how much higher it will go in 2015.

WAITING for proper sources.


Media Create are a trusted market research company that specialises in gathering and analysing data from Japan's Interactive Entertainment industry. They are a "proper" source.

Japan only accounts for about 1/9 ps3s sold so it's pretty similar this gen.

gratulation PS4. <3

And then Persona 5 (best jrpg of all time maybe), Final fantasy 15 and and and and : D

This week comparision is kinda unfair to the PS4 as it released in Feb and those number give other systems 2 holidays and it only one, and considering the smaller amount of sales in Japan compared to US and EU nowdays this boost have quite the weight on the total numbers.
Anyway, PS4 has become the system of choice there as everywhere, it even outselling the handhelds that are the dominant portion of sales recently, and it's on ascencion, next year is going to be up yoy considerably as well.
PS4 is quite healthy to nowdays Japan levels.

Yeah, and all comparisons with PS3 are unfair because it was oftenly bought as a Blu-ray player at first (more hardware than software was sold).

PS3 2009 (best year) vs. PS4 2016 will be interesting.



It'll hit 4M before the end of 2016



i have a question : )

how big is STAR WARS in japan ???????
the next hardware-sales figures-week is very interesting, i think.
