GearNuke: "PS4 is set to soon launch in Japan on February 22nd. As it happens with most typical hardware launches, the interest in PS4 seems to be peaking with each passing day, as more people are searching for it in Japan, according to Google Trends. Meanwhile, people seem to barely have any interest in the Xbox One."
"The Spain-based indie games publisher Firenut Games and Granada-based (Spain) indie games developer Trigger the Monster, today announced with great joy and thrill that their dark fantasy adventure/management game “Search of Light” (AKA SOL), is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Game Rant participates in the Megaton Musashi World Cup, checking out the game a little bit beforehand and winning the first round match.
Feral Cat Den return with Nirvana Noir, a sequel to Genesis Noir centering around two different universes, and it truly feels like a bigger bang.
With the Xbox One sitting unsold in stores all over the US and Europe it certainly makes sense that in Japan there is close to zero interest in it.
I'm excited for them. This will be a great day.
Not exactly news-worthy. All consoles see an interest leading up to a launch. That being said, the PS4 should sell well in Japan initially. It will be up to the developers to ensure there are games that cater to those audiences to keep it selling. Japanese gamers aren't going to go ga-ga over Uncharted, Killzone and Infamous.
I don't think Japan ever had an interest in Xbox's 12 year history.
Same in Europe. Only the UK was really into the Xbox. The rest of us was only interested in PS3 and Wii last gen
Edit: Are there actually any sale numbers for the 360 without the RROD thing?
