Those sales numbers are kinda meh. I know people will crucify me for it but it needs exclusives if Sony really wants to move units.

thats why its completley sold out in Japan

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

This mid-gen nonsense seems to be dead on arrival.

Sony, you better try again with PS4 Pro S. Add an UHD player while you're at it.

nobody cares about uhd player. rent the movie. movies have no replay value

What.....?  Isn't the PS4 regardless of SKUs outpacing the PS3 as a whole?

That was my first thought, as well.  Many Japanese games don't even push the original PS4 and it's not like most people have giant televisions over there.  The Pro is aimed solidly at the west.

Many Japanese games like FFXV, Bloodborne, MGS5 are pushing the hardware to the limit and why shouldnt you buy the Pro in the first place if it is only 100$ more? All games benifit from higher resolution and framerate if they get patched even japanese games like World of Final Fanatasy if you play on a 4K display. A huge chunk of the Television manufactors are from Japan what makes you think that they dont have large Televisions over there? If anything Sony was the one who thought the Pro is only apealing to the West as they undersupplied it in relation to the UK

By "huge chunk", you mean four?  All of which have declined greatly, some to the point of pulling out of the overseas market?  Japan television manufacturing is dead in the water.

Both didn't came with a 100$ price cut like the ps3 slim.



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
