1.4 million isn't bad for a country where console gaming is pretty much dead.

never4get3290d ago

For sustainable Home Console HD JRPG development, 2,000,000 install base probably needed. 600,000 to go.

SONY, more JRPGs please. Thanks.

breakpad3290d ago (Edited 3290d ago )

lot of jRPGs are coming the momentum isnt going anywhere ...in comparison to PS3 which had a bumpy start but succeeded at the end in its homeland and still has good sales..PS4 can be considered exploding success

stuna13290d ago

I agree, the more JRPG's released on the PS4 in Japan, the longer they can sustain momentum. I believe if FFXV releases any time in the near future the PS4 will receive a rather sizable boost in console sales. The same thing will happen when MG Phantom Pain releases.

FF15 and KH3 release dates depend on PS4 install base in Japan.

jjonez183290d ago

Certain franchises succeed regardless of install base. FF and KH are among the biggest names in Japan.

PS4 had good few weeks now is back to sub 20k

HiddenMission3290d ago

That's pretty good for a home console over there.

Bennibop3290d ago

Of course it will slow down that is until the next big release persona 5 perhaps?

HiddenMission3290d ago

That's not what the chart is showing what's being displayed is that title launches cause large sales spikes which is expected. The other piece of info is that between spikes the baseline sales have actually increased.

Just watch as more Japanese centric titles launch the baseline will increase between...its title libraries that increase baseline sales...mmore titles for a region the more incentive for non fans to justify a purchase.

With all the new jrpgs announced momentum is going to go back up soon enough.

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows901h ago(Edited 1h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak27m ago(Edited 19m ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.
