If Sony can release a console that sells 10m like the ps3 and do similar software numbers in japan then they'll be happy. Especially with all the extra ps plus revenue they get this gen. They will also want to get all the third party games on their console and compared to the first 3 years of last gen they are streets ahead in that regard. Their arget with the PS5 should be the same. 10m sales, similar software to ps3/ps4 gen, ps plus revenue and all the third party games. 

Considering the PS4 will be a success I can't see third parties abandoning ps4/ps5 just because nintendo finally have a console it's easy for third parties to port their playstation games to. If anything it will mean these games will do evn better and in the long run more ps4/switch titles get approved then otherwise would. Lastly, the switch and it's successor will likely be pc architecture similar to the ps4/ps5. This will making porting of games between the two platforms easier then ever before. You're not going to see third parties go switch only even if the switch versions are selling more because porting a switch game to ps4 won't be hard. 

Switch will sell 20M+, PS4 10M+ and Sony;s console will be in no danger of losing it's games. Especially when Japanese titles on Playstation sell well in Asia and deent in the west. 

Yeah, been watching some gameplay videos, this is honestly the first DQ title I'm excited about and I think I'll buy it once it releases. Been too long since I played a good JRPG (that wasn't FFXII: The Zodiac Age, that is).

I could see the Switch sales rising up again, considering there's atm no less than 10 different Switch bundles in the Amazon top 40 (12 in top 42!). Yet still, the prices are slowly rising up again, meaning that it's still not enough to cover demand in Japan.

I think it's the opposite. When PS4 wins a week against Switch I see fans praising PS4 and downplaying Switch (which I don't mind, I think it's normal)... but when Switch wins, it suddenly doesn't matter or what matters is worldwide sales (which I agree and always said myself, but this is a Japan thread and I really hate this kind of hypocrisy). 

Btw, I admire that you and some other people are focusing on the PS3 comparison, which I think is indeed much more revelant for PS4. And by the looks of it, PS4 is on track to outsell it.

Okay this is funny.

Compares with UK. Compares with Germany. Compares with France...

The US is the only market bigger than the japanese market, so I would say it is indeed pretty important.

Really? Kids are the only explanation for 3DS-sales?

Finally Japan sales are looking good again I never jumped on the "Japan doesn't want consoles anymore" bandwagon. Really, we were supposed to believe that they would rather play Candy Crush? Come on. Sony just had to get their act together and get Japanese games on their consoles. Nintendo just had to release a consoles that people actually would want to buy, because the Wii U wasn't what consumers wanted.

I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Once in awhile, something comes along and gets me to post in these threads again. That was indeed awesome on Rol's end. Oh well, back to ignoring these threads besides Kresnik and very select few post. 

You make me feel bad! And to think i stop arguing for the sake of others feelings!! :/
