Seems crazy that the japs have had to wait 3 months longer than the rest of the world. It's usually them that get all the tech stuff first.

sony has sold over 300,000 ps4 units in japan in its 2 day period.  it sold better much better than ps3 in a similar timeframe when it was released back in late 2006.

300,000 seems kinda low considering that PS4 was made in Japan and Japanese love Sony. But I guess considering the size of the nation, sounds about right. I dunno. Think I'm talking out of my ass.

Either way, not surprising that PS4 is doing better than PS3. Sony really screwed the pooch with the PS3 launch; too complicated of a system no one wanted to develop for, high price tag, low supply. We all know the story :)

you might right.  Either that or sony only has moderate shipment of ps4 available for the launch.
