A few days ago, the PS4 launched in Japan. After having sold 5.3 million units worldwide, Sony can tack on another 322,063 systems to that tally after just 2 days. This may not seem like a lot in the grand scheme ot things, but consider it in relation to the PS3’s launch, which only moved 88,00 units in the same window.
That being said, this is no guarantee that the PS4 will continue to sell well in Japan. The Wii U sold about as well on day one in Japan, and has been failing ever since. In addition, the PS4 doesn’t even hold a candle to the PS2, which moved nearly twice as many units in the same amount of time.
We will bring you more information on the PS4’s launch as it becomes available.
