How depressing.

Welp, gaming is dead. Long live iOS gaming.

When will WiiU overtake PS4? Next week or in two weeks?

 

[toastyToast]

What happened this week to cause such low numbers?

 

[reptilescorpio]

Bad numbers

 

[Zevenberge]

I would almost say that it can't be any more terrible, but I'd regret that next week. And the week after that.

Things aren't looking good for Japan's gaming industry.

When will WiiU overtake PS4? Next week or in two weeks?

The Wii U won't overtake the PS4; the PS4 will undertake the Wii U.

Next week. Mario Kart is coming.

Mario Kart is coming, so probably next week.

 

[FZZ]

Lol at least Wii U and Vita are up from last year...

 

[miku]

People wants PS3 more than PS4.

Probably next week. PS4 is dropping fast, and Mario Kart is on the horizon.

When Mario Kart 8 is released.

Nothing.

That's the problem.

 

[L~A]

What happened this week to cause such low numbers?

Post-Golden Week drop. Last week had Monday and Tuesday as holidays.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Ouch

 

[Diprosalic]

I wonder where Japan ranks these days in ownership of modern gaming devices (the ones listed above) per capita. Still seems pretty high.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Goodbye PS4 sigh

PS4 am dead......

LOL

 

[maxcriden]

Is there an article somewhere that explains why console gaming has cratered so significantly in Japan? Has disposable income dwindled at all?

 

[Immaculate]

fuck media crate/famitsu sales have been depressing as hell this year

 

[StreetsAhead]

Sony should drop the gamepad

Sony should not have dropped the PS4 in February with a Western focused line-up and with no appealing games in sight.

 

[JoeM86]

This is rather sad. 3DS is doing numbers that companies would have hoped for in a bad week. Vita is slowly edging back towards 10k. Home consoles are flatlining.

It's a dark time for the industry. Not just for Japan as these sorts of things are happening everywhere. Xbox One selling worse last month than Xbox 360 did in any April until this year.

This is so sad

Of course, there's games to play on the PS3.

As someone that mostly plays Japanese games, it's painfully obvious that the PS4 is not a product that the Japanese market wants at all.

LOL!

Console gaming in Japan is... dead? Wow, these numbers are depressing.

Before people start commiting harakiri

Last Year numbers:

| 3DS # | 36.162 |
| PSV | 11.564 |
| PS3 | 10.738 |
| PSP # | 6.833 |
| WIU | 6.058 |
| WII | 1.189 |
| 360 | 272 |

This is mostly a post gold week effect.

Nothing coming out on PS4 :/

Any big Japanese titles coming up for PS4? Can't think of any tbh

 

[spatenfloot]

Vita champion vs last year.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

When was the last Ps4 game released? Feels like its been at least six weeks.

I wonder what Sony was thinking. Did they expect the console to sell without any games?
I mean there is literally nothing. It not like releases are few and far apart. There is just nothing.
I wonder how long it'll take for software support to kick in on Ps4.

That makes me a bit more relieved, but there is definitely a downward trend in this industry.

Depending on your definition of "coming up", Final Fantasy XV.

So true.
Can't wait for the next big game to increase hardware sales significantly, hope there will be one before Pokémon or Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

 

[ILoveBish]

Japan had a good run.

 

[stilgar]

Sony should drop the gamepad

Or change the name that CLEARLY confuses people

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

So....

Do people think the PS4 will end this generation having sold more units then the Wii U in Japan?

 

[spatenfloot]

Well, ps3 had a new release that Japan is interested in.
