Awesome... Hope it continues to do well. The more its user-base increases the higher the chances PS games from Japan gets localized. And that's really 90% of what I care of. :)

Now start giving Kat the attention she deserves. Weird Persona 5 wasn't on that list, since they even mentioned Yakuza 6.

Remember when consoles were dead and PS4 would flop because the WiiU was selling like shit? Good times.

Damn. Nearly half what the PS3 sold, and we've still got PSVR coming, the PS4k, plus all of the new games using techniques the developers learned during the first few years.

Looking forward to the delicious graphs.
 
Hmm thats true but I dont know why they would only list Japanese retail games. Doesnt really make sense. Considering theybtalk about Western games in the next sentence.

Downwell is Japanese, although it has a western publisher. There aren't a lot of Japanese indie games.
