No Japan this year it seems for either console. But then again TGS in Japan is just one month away, so who knows!

I don't think Sony has announced their Asia plans at all. Pretty sure we'll see that at TGS, as opposed to just assuming it's not coming to Japan this year.

WTF... no South Africa for PS4? Dont care for Xbone. But considering PS3 sold/sells like hotcakes the last 6 years and our sales contribute to EU/PAL region, thats unfair.., I was going to place the pre-order tomorrow.

Think we should wait on Japan since TGS is coming up.

Would be weird to announce it here with few Japanese titles you know?

Wow my country is on the PS4 list! This has never happened before, hell they launched current gen consoles officially only a few years ago.

Wait for TGS. They're addressing Japan there

I really doubt that they're gonna launch in Japan this year at this point.
It seems like TGS will be used to announce their japanese plans and japanese launch games (Namco, Tecmo/Koei, Sega, Capcom, Konami, Level 5, From Software and so on). But those games won't be ready to be released this year, they are already making official lists of games coming out this year and japanese titles are not listed.
The chance that they're hiding all the things coming from Japan until TGS is really slim.
Also Europe barely makes it in time for November so it seems like even lanching in two (huge) markets is a big challange, let alone launching n Asia/Japan as week.
It's February/March for Japan/Asia imo.

Well, if no Japanese devs are making Wii U games, and PS4 is early 2014....what are these devs doing in the meantime?

If I didn't know any better, it would be like they gave up on consoles all together.......

I thought India was already announced for this year by Sony? Either that changed recently or the Asia release details are coming at TGS.

I think things will pan out the way you described. Japan in particular, and Asia in general will be much, much more favorable to Sony. It makes sense to serve the US and Europe before, the first on account of the strong MS mindshare there, the second zone for its perceived importance as the leading PS consumers' bloc.

No date and price for Japan is really pissing me off. I'm not in the mood to import from the west so my last hope is TGS, but I doubt it will launch 2013 since there is no real competition atm. Bummer, really.

Spreading those launch units well thin. Not sure if that is a good idea by Sony or a bad one.

I guess that really depends on how well their production is going. 1 mil units is pretty impressive from a launch standpoint and I'm sure they'll have more on shelves at launch in these regions as well.

You know how many units they have?

Well, they stopped pre-orders pretty early, so I am guessing not enough. Mid to Late Nov gives them more time I guess.

I doubt Sony or MS really have enough units to satisy all regions they plan to launch in. Someone always gets boned by it.
