Will probably overtake the Wii U worldwide by next week.

Damn Nintendo...all it took was a couple of months by Sony. Microsoft will probably pass them up by the summer and shyt. Not a good look for Nintendo

Nintendo got piles of cash to last them decades compared to Sony and MSFT. They can afford to fix their mistakes by the next console.

We'll see about that, I feel like they might have lost some 3rd party partners forever (specifically EA)

This is honestly a flop, but you nikkas are desperate for wins however you can get them so enjoy another console sales circle jerk..

And also, word on the street is that there is plenty of stock on store shelves. So i guess that means that the lauch was a universal failure right?

Three months after its release in North America and Europe, PlayStation 4 is finally available in Japan. On Saturday February 22 it was greeted across the nation by the after-effects of the heaviest snowfall in decades; while stores in the major cities were unaffected, blocked roads in some parts of Japan meant that Amazon was unable to fulfill its preorders on time, emailing customers to inform them that their consoles would not arrive on launch day.

You might think this would only make for heavier demand at bricks-and-mortar stores. But at close of business Sunday, after two full days, most of the major game and electronics stores we contacted in Tokyo and Osaka said they had had plenty of stock still available – a far cry from the scenes in Europe, where PS4 consoles are still scarce months later.

The day before the February 22 launch, major retailers such as Sofmap and Yodobashi Camera were still accepting preorders, and those who queued through the night in the bitter cold found that other customers without preorders could easily stroll up to the counter and buy one of the two available models (with or without camera).

You have to keep in mind the gaming market(especially consoles) is smaller in Japan than in EU and the USA. Only two consoles in history in Japan had better launch numbers...The PS2 and Wii.
