FFXIII came out one year from now launch aligned (3 years after the PS3 came out). And so FFXV will come out earlier on the PS4 than FFXIII did on the PS3 (the PS4 just reached 2 years old). The PS4 has yet to have any big hitters like a new Resident Evil game or a game from a big franchise that isn't cross-gen (like the Yakuza series or the Metal Gear Solid series).

FF13 isn't out yet, look at the next holiday for PS3 where it spikes up.  Then it had really good legs after that.  PS4 win will depend on if it can have legs like the PS3 or not.  PS3 was a late bloomer with a long life and steady legs.

I see, thanks guys ^

this along with your other graphs on here are the real money maker when it comes to dicussing the ps4's success. it's  doing very well. in your last post you referenced factors that might influence the gen. i have a few things to add. 

1: I believe the PS4 will reach a much lower price point than the ps3 ever could thus giving it increased sales potential. 

2: PSVR. We just don't know but this might attrack some of the wii motion control crowd and increase sales by a few hundred thousand to possibly over a million. 

3: Western titles. They've already grown significantly but that growth might continue. Western support is guaranteed to be coming in both quality and quantity. If they keep growing in japan this could boost sales this gen compared to others. GTA VI for example will probably over 1.5M on PS4 and possibly more. 

I beleive this gen will be long because the PS4 is the perfect machine for Sony to make money. I can easily see another 5 years without a successor. 

10M is my prediction. By the end of 2017 i can see it around 6M. Another 4 years of support would ensure 10M will be done no problem. 3 years before the PS5 and it would probably still do it. 

Not really because the Yen is lower than the Dollar, it didnt cost them a lot at all to devolope and market this game in Japan. The legs of these DQB games are fantastic for the price they are selling and you are only talking about 1 Vita version, with the PS4 and 3 versions it sold even more and made even more moeny these evrsions are even more expnesive.

Still Wii U shortages? They've had many weeks to fix this now, isn't it time they do?

Don't think they're planning to fix them. This is them basically just selling off what's left of their Wii U inventory and that'll be that. 

This has been going on for months now, it doesn't take that long to manufacture Wii Us. 

That's precisely what I'm thinking, I mentioned it in another thread (and the idea even went unopposed).

If you're talking about The Division, since was produced by a non japanese company, precisely because the Yen is lower than the dollar, they earn less when they exchange yens to dollars. 

If you are talking about DQB, since SE is a japanese company they don't care about exchanges rates because the yen is their local money. And of course the console versions are more expensive than the Vita, because they cost more than the portable version, so need a bigger amount of money to make profit.

No one can Stop Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and Persona, and all those games will have a Main game launched this year on Japan, the Playstation 4, will be much up YOY, than last year, Square Expect Final Fantasy XV, to sell more than FFVII, if they expect to sell more equally on all regions, the FFXV, need to sell more than 3.5 Millions on Japan.

I Think that the Biggest  Third Party Exclusives to sell on  Home Consoles on Japan, are Dragon Quest (Vii, i think) more than 4-4.3 Millions, and Final Fantasy VIII, more than 4 Millions.
