Kerotan said: Your not listening. Mobile devices including mobile consoles took over Japanese gaming. Home consoles were dying.. Wii U bombed compared to Wii, XB1 bombed compared 360. After 1 year of sales people said ps4 was going to bomb too compared to ps3. But it bucked the market trend and is up on ps3. Given the circumstances it's a miracle. Shows what a beast the ps4 is that it could buck the trend. Even 3DS was down on it's predecessor. Even Switch. Even vita. Ps4 is the only one standing. |
No, actually you are one that is not listening, like I wrote, Wii U bombed world wide not just in Japan, and become worst selling Nintendo console ever world wide after their best selling console ever. XB1 will end selling worse compared to Xbox360 world wide, not just in Japan. Yes, after 1st year of PS4 people thought it will bombed hard in Japan, its good that didnt bombed but definitely don't have strong sales either in any case.
But PS3 is worst selling Sony console ever, fact that in Japan PS4 is selling similar like with worst seling Sony console ever doesnt mean nohting, because worldwide PS4 has much bigger popularity and actually double sales than PS3. So no, its not a miracle and no PS4 is not beast in Japan. Like I wrote, buy your point If Wii U 2 is selling just a little ahead of Wii U in Japan, I could say that is a miracle and that Wii U 2 is beast because its selling a little better than previous console in Japan, that's crazy thinking.
Lol, of course that 3DS is down on its predecessor when comes after best selling handheld of all time, and despite 3DS was fighting against mobile device this gen, it become 3. best selling gaming hardware of all time in Japan after DS and GB/GBC (it beated even PS2). Vita is faile and actualy worst seling Sony hardware, same like Wii U for Nintendo in any case. And its too early to talk about Switch because it's only 4 months on market and still is heavily supply constrained, we still don't know what are real heights for Switch.
In Japan this gen PS4 actually is only gaming hardware that come after worst selling hardware of some company, all other hardwares (Wii U, 3DS, Vita, XB1) come after actualy best selling hardwares of Nintendo, Sony and MS (Wii, DS, PSP and Xbox360), so pointing that PS4 is "beast" and sales are "miracle" just beacuse is seling similar sales like worst selling Sony console while other hardware in Japan selling worse than actualy their best selling consoles ever, doesn't make any sense, especially when world wide PS4 will most likely be best selling console of all times after PS2.
