When do people expect PS4 to outsell WiiU's LTD in Japan ?. It done it in 2 days in the UK, a few weeks in the EU and it will pass it in Feb's NPD for America.

With the release schedule looking so barren it's not even certain the PS4 will beat the Wii U's YTD this year in Japan.
 
The PS4 is at this stage, pretty much everywhere, selling on the promise of future support; I think the low tie ratio affirms that to an extent.

Although, the bundling of Knack and free software available probably doesn't help.

The problem with the Japanese market is that that promise (FFXV, Kingdom Hearts, Tales etc) is going to take a lot longer to be realised and I don't think the technological upgrade for cross-gen titles is as much of an adoption driver.

It already passed it in the US in January NPD.

What? The YTD is like 100K.

Are you trying to say that the PS4 will be below Vita's YTD in Japan?

PSP was WELL WELL above PS3 so why not?
At this point...I wouldn't bet either way. The Vita has managed to make a niche for itself in Japan. PS4 could either lose to it marginally or beat it by a fair chunk. I think there are enough factors in the PS4's favour to put it ahead of the Wii U by early to mid 2015, but I don't think it'll be a raging success.

I have a seperate question to people in this thread, a bit OT but still, when do people think XB1 Worldwide LTD will catch Wii U's? I'm fairly pessimistic tbh, and don't think it'll happen this year.

Deadline: Feb 26 08:00 am (EST) (when Famitsu or Media Create first make their weekly sales public)
t1393419600z1.png


Attention:
  • PS4 HARDWARE DOESN'T INCLUDE THE LAUNCH "WEEK" (FIRST 2 DAYS)
  • Remember for some games it's not only the 1st week.
  • Multiplatform games are the combined available sales of each platform
Rules:
  • Do not edit your post after the deadline. If you do, you'll be disqualified.
  • The official monthly hardware sales will be the sum of weekly numbers for all versions of the system available from Famitsu.
  • The official monthly software sales will be the latest total or the sum of the weekly numbers if the title is release before the period available from the Famitsu Top 30.
  • The official monthly sales for multi-platform releases will be the combined available sales of each platform shown in the title entry.
  • The official monthly sales for games with multiple versions will be the combined available sales of each version shown in the title entry.
  • Any game missing in the Famitsu top 30 will be taken out of the predictions.





Was totally forgetting this.
And I forgot to predict for the entire year. =
Gonna post anyway just to see how wrong I am.

[PS4] Hardare - 1111k
[3DS] Hardware - 3333k
[PSV] Hardware - 999k
[WIU] Hardware - 888k
[3DS] Monster Hunter 4 G - 2222k
[3DS] Super Smash Bros. - 888k
[WIU] Super Smash Bros. - 888k
[WIU] Mario Kart 8 - 999k
I get surprised everytime i see people predicting PS4 selling more than the Vita for the whole year.

- Hardware sold out

These are all most likely "hardcore stores".
Yodobashi only has the version with camera sold-out in three stores: http://www.yodobashi.com/ec/news/1000073465/index.html?kind=0002&store=0011
Amazon is apparently sold-out.

So how many stores they cover or they are saying sold out based on only 1 store data. :S

I have a seperate question to people in this thread, a bit OT but still, when do people think XB1 Worldwide LTD will catch Wii U's? I'm fairly pessimistic tbh, and don't think it'll happen this year.

ww it might make it in holidays this year but alot of things would have to go its way (the rumoured price drop). Its already ahead in uk and a couple of the released eu countries iirc, i think it will overtake in US in feb npd but theres a big chunk (over 30%) of the wiiu made up in japan which will never be touched by xb1.

WiiU is so dead in europe that even a distant second place xbox will still take chips out of those Japanese numbers but it will be whether momentum can be built in the US that will decide how long it takes to happen

With the exception of the US, where it should happen by March, I think it has essentially outsold the Wii U in the Anglosphere. But those markets, while huge aren't really enough to get it to catch the Wii U as yet, given it seems to be selling about as poorly as the Wii U post-holiday in the non-English speaking launch countries.

It will be difficult, considering it will be irrelevant in Japan even when it launches.

I could still see it happening this year though in theory. I don't think the Wii U will ship a lot more in FYE3/15 than it did last FY, so it will be around 8.5M or thereabouts. It's quite plausible for the XB1 to ship another 4-5M units this year with launches etc and assuming demand in the US and UK doesn't completely crater. If a price drop occurs in the next holiday season, then I would say it's likely.
 
how's the Xbox One doing in France/Germany?
it'd be funny if it was so bad that the Wii U was outselling it and chipping away the UK advantage

france wiiu ltd ~ 300k (in Jan 2014)
xb1 ~ 126k (2013 only)
ps4 ~ 240k (2013 only)

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=97921322&postcount=101


WiiU made 110k in its 2012 launch there with one week less than xb1 so the luanches were very similar. From nintendo financial graphs though this was easily the wiius best market in europe.

XB1 failed to break the Top 50 chart

You would need to compare last year wiiu to this year xb1

too bad there's only a top 10 for Germany week 7 in 2013, obviously no Wii U titles there >_>

that's kind of the point, the 2nd and 3rd biggest markets in Europe are relatively favorable to Nintendo by comparison (far more noticeable with the 3DS though, because lolwiiu) :p

From German charts, kinda OT.

W48>49>50 2012
09>22>31 - New Super Mario Bros. U
65>NA - ZombiU
70>NA - Assassin's Creed III
74>NA - Nintendo Land

W47>48>49 2013
05>39>38 - Forza
06>34>40 - Battlefield 4
08>44>46 - Ryse
09>50 - Call of Duty: Ghosts
12>49 - Assassin's Creed IV
22>82 - FIFA
35>NA - Need for Speed: Rivals
51>NA - NBA 2K14
NA>95 - Lego Marvel Super Heroes

Despite similar starts, price seems the major problem with the XB1 rather than the software line-up.

I was in Shibuya and there are ps4 ads everywhere. Too bad theyre pretty awful. Aside from Isshin we have a bunch of obscure shit as far as games. Sony should use FFXIV and XV in their ads. And more Metal Gear.

Anyone thinking negatively about PS4 sales should read this.

http://www.vg247.com/2014/02/22/ps4-home-at-last-sonys-prodigal-son-finally-comes-to-japan/3/

Sounds like PS4 is going to do very well indeed. This article comes from someone who lives in Japan. Sounds like there was a massive shipment, one store alone got 300 systems and after reporting steady sales expected them to be gone by the weekend.

Hard to take this article seriously...there's no way it matches ps2s launch in Japan

No. It's hard to take it seriously since it claims to be the strongest launch ever? Nuts. Hard to believe anything else after reading that.

Expected the low tie ratio. PS2's ratio was 0.87. I'm guessing a 0.6-0.7 since there is Knack and PS+.

So is this suggesting PS4 as sold out?

I know FF XV is far off, but I can't even imagine KH III being out before 2017.

I see it as FFXV 2015 and KH3 2016. KH3 is closer than what many people think. We have seen gameplay videos for instance. As soon as FFXV is finished the Versus team will hop in and help the Osaka team.

I think it's best to wait and see. Everyone here is saying PS4 has flopped in Japan. I say wait and see, you may be surprised.

How can anyone say this? I wouldn't take them seriously if you see anyone say this or the inverse because we have very little evidence. They are probably just predictions.

Nope. People don't think the problem is at launch. People have been saying first year (outside launch) is gonna be brutal because there isn't a solid release schedule. There are Sony / Tech / Western games fans, that's sure, and those are gonna drive sales for the first weeks. The question is how well it will sell once that fanbase has bought the systems.

I think X1 January NPD results could be used as an example. Hardcore Xbox fans have bought the systems. Tech enthusiasts has bought the systems. Now early adopters have early adopted the system and January sales were low. (Sales will go up later, sure, but I wanted to use it as a comparision because it looks like a similar case)

Yes yes. That was a summary of what most people have been saying about PS4 sales projection (if me reading comprehension works better than my sacarsm meter xD). It was an answer to the "How can anyone say this?"

er...what

Errr, a console's success is not determined just by the amount of good first-party titles. It is determined by how consistent and good that support is. The PS4 will have a release schedule that is infinitely more consistent than the Wii U's.

But where will the support come without the strong first party? Isn't that why the Vita's in limbo right now? We saw what Nintendo's first party titles did for the 3DS. Granted that major support was always planned for the 3DS by third parties, but they were banking on Nintendo's own support to prop up the system's userbase initially.
 
I was in Shibuya and there are ps4 ads everywhere. Too bad theyre pretty awful. Aside from Isshin we have a bunch of obscure shit as far as games. Sony should use FFXIV and XV in their ads. And more Metal Gear.

I saw a trailer of FFXV yesterday at Sofmap Ikebukuro

This is why, as long as the hardware itself sells alot or enough to satisfy 3rd party devs will follow through their pledge to release software for it, whether or not Nintendo or Sony will release their own content for it, we saw devs bail spectacularly on the Wii U when sales come out, we saw devs clamouring to make shovelware when the Wii came and caused global saturation.

Comgnet Pre Order

Harvest Moon New Beginning 3DS - 62pt (final) [79,809 FW / 232,912 LTD]
Harvest Moon New World 3DS - 73pt (increasing, to be released on Feb 27)

If only that could mean it'll have 100k opening week.... but it's probably never gonna happen. My guess, CNW will do slightly better than NB, but not by much (about 85k, I'd say).
