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.
