Apple Bandai Pippin - 40K
Only 40k!?
Should have bought this when I had the chance.
Apple Bandai Pippin - 40K
That's pretty damn good.
HehThat's not hot.
Oh.. Might have mistaken it with the game bundle.PS3 Slim launched in September 2009 in Japan, and FFXIII in December 2009, so no they weren't launched together.
That seems super low.
Hook, line, and sinkerWhat ? you expected more #s that the original PS4 release day sales and this is just an upgraded console ?
i don't think they even have 500k consoles in stock lol
That's pretty damn good.
Solid start for Japan - but i doubt this model will play a big role in that market.
PS3 Slim sold 150,252 in 3 days.
Edit: Beaten.
PS4 Pro sold 65,194 consoles in Japan in the first 4 days after its release (Nov 10-13) according to Famitsu.
truncated.....
This is a better result than PS4 Pro had in the UK where it sold 42,000 in its first week.
That's irrelevant considering how much the Japanese market for home console gaming has shrunk, both markets are comparable in size due to the immense decline in popularity in Japan.Japan has twice the population.... I think pro has sold very well in the UK considering.

Good news...Is this good or bad news for sony
Well I guess you will have to consider how it's doing against it's rival or competition the XB1. That will give some perspective I'm thinking......Is this good or bad news for sony
Not great, but ok. PS4 Slim probably stole a lot of PS4 Pro's thunder.
I wonder in what world 65k for the launch of a new model is impressive.
It's mediocre. It's not bad or alarming but it's not good or satisfying either.
Japanese sales really got bad.
Honestly ? no its not logical . at least IMO. People pay 50$ and 100$ to get 1T or 2T hard disks. ( xbox one / PS4 )
The slim is 500Gb. for 300$. assuming its 1 T, its going to be 350$.
So basically you are only paying 50$ but you are getting much more value. heck. even at 100$. the pro is worth that much difference. its a future proof PS4 system for the upcoming games that will take advantage of the hardware.
All those games out right now while they look better than the slim, they are rushed for the release window. Give it some more time and the difference will be more obvious.
Of course to each has his own, but If I do not own a ps4, and I am in for a new playstation console, I will be honestly stupid to not pay extra 50$ /100$ (depends on what you stand in terms of HDD size price difference ) for a much better console.
Its also not applied for western games. the biggest game this holiday from the Japanese market will support a friggin 60 fps full HD . that alone for me is worth the 100$ considering I am big JRPG fan
as for your last comment about the lead. I am going to assume the pro will have the lead ( if the console isn't sold out )
its going to be fun watching the numbers early next year when both sku's are available.
So pretty damned good for a mid gen refresh/new SKU.
Is there anything in Japan lower than Xbox One lifetime ?
If only the 1% of China bought the PS4...
Really? that seems pretty awful for a new system at launch week. That it didn't even match the Slim, makes it seem even weaker. I would have expected big numbers, closer to PS4 launch week, but I guess Sony basically Ghost launched this with basically no launch titles, and half-baked support. This really doesn't seem like the type of success that could make mid-gen console refreshes worthwhile.
Seems more an issue with your expectations than reality.
Is it though? If this thing can only do 65,000 on launch week, how long is it going to take for the install base to build into anything worthwhile for Japanese developers? Perhaps if the Pro ends up doing steady numbers, and basically replacing or bolstering standard PS4 sales, then it could be a good thing in the long term, but this seems limp. If the Pro is basically the new PS4, how long is it going to take the Pro to reach 3,000,000 sales? at this rate, it seems almost never.
Thats not really good. Kinda on the low side. Should be atleast 3 times that much.

The Pro is never going to get exclusive games. Sony has mandated that any PS4 game coming out has to have Pro features. Whether the system sells 3 million or 20 million it will be supported by every PS4 release going forward. It's also going to be the system of choice for anyone interested in VR. I wouldn't make this system be anymore than it's supposed to be. A PS4 with prettier visuals.
