Japanese ps4 sales are fantastic.  I'm very interested to see how it does next week and then for new years week where Playstation traditionally gets boosted.  

The weekly number is literally x2 last year and next week's MC could be similar.  

Considering the massive sales increase I'm hoping for an even better baseline in Q1 and Q2 then in 2016. This will be key in determining if ps4 peaked this year or if it's still full steam ahead.

What took them so long.

What took them so long.

Sony probably wanted to maximize holiday season revenue from the UC4 bundle and then. use the Infinite Warfare/Modern Warfare bundle to keep sales afloat throughout 2017.

Nice number for Bloodborne, was it on sale?

Also seriously two months after launch Persona 5 can't even shift 250 units digitally anymore? The japanese market is brutal.

Brutal with digital

Japan is pretty big with resale.

Which doesn't really help publishers. People don't like it when something like that is pointed out, but I'm convinced the second hand market in Japan is a huge problem for the industry.

It can be but there is other side.

It is hard to say because resale helps to buy new games... so I believe some guys only buy games at launch because they can resale after to buy another game at launch.

It can be good and bad for the industry... you can think if there is no resale the number of game bought at launch could be lower and that is bad and these that buy resale games will possible buy few new games.
