It's been sold out at some stores/chains, but it's still available in large enough quantities that you probably could have found one if you really wanted one last week. And yes we do;

It isn't that simple, and how the PS4 or any console is doing, especially early on, is all about momentum. We can't derive or forecast a lot from one or two weeks, so going one way or the other just seems silly IMO.

You're not counting the digital sales dude.
This better be sarcasm.

Do we have one of these for PS4 yet?Hmm looks like someone needs to update this with new titles
Well thanks for the number! Though my knowledge so far seems inadequate to make any further comment.

A poor attempt at humor. My apologies fellow gaffers.
I laughed out loud. Good humor as far as I'm concerned.
Every game, which won't release on the WiiU, too, is a PS4 exclusive.
See MGS: GZ, etc.

Won't that stop when XB1 eventually launches, not that, that matters.
Nope! And *thatsthejoke* because japan doesn't care about the Xbox.
If the XB1 actually launches in Japan. I'm not yet convinced that this will actually happen.

That's still not exclusive, it would be a better joke if there was more "exclusive" games, quite alarmingly there's fuck all so it's simply even greater cause for concern.

Almost every game that releases on Wii U is a Wii U exclusive.
And GZ isn't PS4 exclusive.
Not really "alarmingly", because this is how it always was at launch.
(this time it's a bit more dry, of course, in japan)
But they will get a new Metal Gear Solid title early, FF: Online, etc.
Games are coming.
And again, what I meant: If a game releases on the PS4 and the Bone (only), it's practically a PS4 "exclusive" in japan
Because nobody cares about the Bone there.
Uhm...you didn't get the joke
Doubt it. It's in line with the deleted estimate from that blog.
Tomorrow (for last week)
I think it would be best to wait before any conclusions.
That was great. No need to apologize.

There's no mid tiers, there's no AAA for ages. Even the Vita got a load of port's which the PS4 in Japan is lacking. Alarming is exactly the word that should be used.

It doesn't exist anymore, since the PS4 launched ;PYour joke was about the PS3 version too?
But.... bu....... MGS and inFAMOUS ^_^
Don't let Chris intimidate you, he's a softie at heart.
Just like Yakuza: Ishin ;P
maybe Sony just assumed that the first shipment sold out completely and didnt bother checking how much the second shipment sold.?
I dont have they have their own internal tracking like Nintendo

Based on the (little) info we have, somewhere around 60k doesnt seem that surprising to me. Out of curiousity, what do you expecting for the 2nd week?
Come on, Sony doesn't have their own internal trackers like Nintendo? Where the hell did you pull that one from?
Considering that sold more than 300k on launch, I expected at least 100k.

PS4 doesn't need any help, yet.

Fair enough. It depends on how big the 2nd shipment was. After the first two days, about 50k PS4s were available in Japan according to Famitsu. The 2nd shipment would have had to be at least 50k and we would have to see a near 100% sellout in the 2nd week for it to reach 100k. But we will know more about this tomorrow =)
First Limited Pack out of production (出荷完了

Regular PS4 available at the beginning of March:
http://www.jp.playstation.com/ps4/hardware/cuh1000ab01.html
No camera bundle anymore.
Just confirming what we already know.
Ideally, the First Limited Pack would be limited to a nice rounded number such as 400,000 bundles. But it can really be anything 421,748 or 396,489 or 467,103...

I remember Chris posted something similar as impressions from some blogs. If that's something that can happen when shipments are very big (like at launch) and you can still have a good debut hardware wise, seeing this being said with a low second week shipment is worrying, I think.
I actually shouldn't talk about this , because i have been guilty of it too . but why the sudden heavy interest in Amazon best seller list ?
Every time during the pre- PS4 in japan launch period ,saying it was out of stock or was at the top of the list it was called a useless and meaningless metric to get a decent picture of it's sales performance .
Is this still the case or did something Change ?
If it's sold out of stores, then it's supply constrained by definition. It may also wind up demand constrained once the channel is full. We'll need to wait to find out for sure, but there's no doubt it's currently supply constrained.

knack won't outsell mario 3d world in japan
so sad
The sentiment I've gleaned from people in Japan is the console isn't hard to find if you want it. Generally "no stock anywhere" is closer to what most would consider supply constrained, like PS4 in the west or the early days of Wii and DS Lite.

Can either of you show me a source where Nintendo has said that "WiiU is dead" or that they are even starting to move on from it please ?. The QOL platform is something completely different from a home console. Last time Iwata spoke about WiiU he was talking about bringing games out that would show why the tablet exists which would in turn drive further hardware sales, far from calling it "dead"...
No single title will improve WiiU sales dramatically outside of maybe Mario Kart 8. A combination of much better marketing, software that shows off why the Gamepad exists, a price cut to the same price as the original Wii and a collection of exclusive, big name Nintendo games not available anywhere else will all improve the consoles sales. As I said yesterday all the WiiU has had so far is two Mario games in as many years, a Zelda remake and Pikmin 3.
I don't really get why people won't open their mind to the possibility that a combination of Tropical Freeze, MK8, Hyrule Warriors, Sonic Boom, Bayonetta 2, X and Smash will all improve the consoles value proposition to consumers in 2014, esp if it's combined with a price cut and much better marketing.
And those titles are also only the ones we currently know about, there could very well be a new Wii Sports, Metroid, Animal Crossing and Pokemon games on the way on top of the new Zelda for 2015.
People convinced that Nintendo are going to drop software development for WiiU after the current 2014 games and drop the system in early 2015 are going to be very disappointed*.
*I should add that if I had my way I would drop the console at the end of the year and schedule all the 2015 onward games as first year titles for a much more powerful system to be released in late 2015 but that's just not going to happen.

Well then most people would be wrong. "Supply constrained" has an actual meaning. There are stores that want to stock and sell them, but they can't, because they can't get units from Sony. It's supply constrained.
We don't know how many additional units Sony needs to ship in order to fill the channel and meet demand, but we know that they need to ship some.
