I thought Japan was going to get it first myself, but it was a smart idea to not release it there until 2014 because the launch line up would've been entirely western games except for Knack. Even their February 22nd launch line seems to lack Japanese games. I think alot more Japanese gamers will start picking up PS4s during the Holiday season of 2014 when the system has alot more Japanese games.
I'd love to see PlayStation "Miis", it's like having a character creator that spans the whole console. I was hoping Modnation would eventually do this but Sony seems to have replaced it with LittleBigPlanet Karting.

Re: The PlayStation 4 Just Can't Catch A Break In Japan
@Demi_God Nintendonized and Appleized, It's crazy when a western brand like Apple is pushing PlayStation aside in PlayStation's own region.
Re: Ubisoft Wants Just Dance To Join League Of Legends And Dota In The eSport Ranks
Makes sense Dance Dance Revolution was originally an eSport before the series died off in 2009
Re: Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare Sows Its Seeds on PS4 This August

Re: PlayStation Mobile May Be About to Get a Bunch of Games
Nice! If I got into game development, my games would be for PS Vita and PC.

I think PSPs will still be produced for a very long time in Japan, just like how PS2s were still produced until 2012.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Director Stunned by PS4's Visual Prowess
I read that Sakurai actually owns every PlayStation system, he owns a PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3, PS Vita, and now a PS4.
Re: Review: Pac-Man Museum (PlayStation Network)
@Stuffgamer1 I'd love to see the arcade version of Pac-Man Arrangement added (this collection has the PSP version)
Re: Opinion: EA Found Its Call of Duty Killer, and Committed a Titanic Mistake
I think it was a mistake also because it would of also sold amazing in Japan on PS4 because of Japan's love for mechs but they're loyal to Sony.
Re: Over in Japan, the PS4 Launch Is an Excuse for One Hell of a Party
@Carl-G Same here
Re: Sony's New Vita Bundle Will Allow You to Flaunt Ten Top Indie Titles
Nintendo should do an indie bundle with the Wii U
Re: Japan May Be Handheld Land, But It Still Wants the PS4
I wonder if Japan will get a PS4 + PS Vita bundle like what Europe got.
Re: Talking Point: Do Sony's Family Franchises Have a Future on PS4?
I think a new LittleBigPlanet would do very well on PS4, in fact, Media Molecule wants the PS4 to be the "Ultimate Creative Console".
Re: Wait, Japan Almost Got the PlayStation 4 First?
@goonow NA/EU/AU would've have still gotten the PS4 in 2013 if Japan got it earlier than us.
Re: Wait, Japan Almost Got the PlayStation 4 First?
The PS4 is also the first Sony system that we got before Japan.

Re: PS Vita Welcome Box Aims to Generate Interest in the Struggling Handheld
I'm surprised it doesn't have Gravity Rush
Re: Matters of Import: Cute Witches Blow Things Up in Cotton 100%
The Mega Drive had it's own Cotton game that played alot more like Space Harrier.
Re: Rumour: Is Sony Trying to Lure Wii U Buyers Towards PS4 and Vita?
I don't think this is any different from the Genesis VS SNES days.
Re: Few Could Afford to Experience PS4 in This Luxury
Wow, and I just got an HDTV last year.
Re: What Third-Party Games Do You Want on PlayStation? Tell Sony's New Division
Shmups, the main console for shmups should not be a Microsoft console.
Re: Here's Your Very First Official PlayStation 4 Hardware Bundle
They should also do a bundle for Knack.
Re: Weirdness: Pac-Man Hits the Links in Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational
Oh, ok then.
Re: Weirdness: Pac-Man Hits the Links in Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational
Kind of odd since everything except for the Vita is getting Pac-Man Museum.
Re: Talking Point: Is the PlayStation 4 Launching Too Late?
I thought both of them were going to come out in 2014 before the February PS4 reveal.
Re: GamesCom 2013: PlayStation Vita Memory Cards Are Still Pretty Pricey
I wish they'd just make a model that could use both SD cards and their memory cards.
Re: PlayStation Vita Pets Dresses Talking Dogs in Tutus
8 years late Sony
Re: Reaction: Xbox One Delay Leaves the Door Ajar for PS4
Those regions have a huge preference for Sony, which is not good for MS there.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy a $500 PS4 and Vita Bundle?
Not this year, I probably would during 2014 if the PS4 is successful.
Re: Talking Point: Should the PS4 Feature an Avatar System?
I'd love to see PlayStation "Miis", it's like having a character creator that spans the whole console. I was hoping Modnation would eventually do this but Sony seems to have replaced it with LittleBigPlanet Karting.
Re: Oh, There's a New Tomb Raider Title in Production for PS4
It'll probably also be on Xbox One and PC.
Re: PlayStation All-Stars Wanted to Take You on a Tour of Hekseville
Maybe we'll see PlayStation All-Stars Ultimate Bout on the PS4.
Re: Sony Almost Joined Forces with SEGA for the PlayStation
The PlayStation Saturn
Re: Tretton: PlayStation Vita's Got a Dedicated Fanbase, It's Just Not Big Enough
Not talking about it much back at E3 2012 really hurt it. They need to advertise it more.
Re: Whoa, There Are Now Eight Million Levels in LittleBigPlanet
I hope LittleBigPlanet 3 is a PS4 game and not a PS3 game.
Re: The Last of Us Lacks Multiplayer Dismemberments in Europe
Is it only the American version that has or do the Japanese and Australian versions have it too?
Re: Store Update: 18th June 2013 (North America)
I'd love to see Namco Museum themed items get added to LittleBigPlanet.
Re: Talking Point: Did Sony Do Enough to Win the Battle of the E3 2013 Press Conferences?
I personally thought Nintendo's was better overall. Sony's wasn't bad, it was just spotty. But I'm very happy that PS4 is not blocking used games.
Re: E3 2013: Let's Play PlayStation Press Conference Bingo
I'm making my own bingo boards for Sony and Nintendo.
Re: E3 2013: Let's Play PlayStation Press Conference Bingo
I think Ridge Racer will be announced for PS4.

I'm predicting either $400 or $450.
Re: Rayman Legends Leaps onto PlayStation Vita with Exclusive Content
Looks I'll have to get 2 versions, one right right away and the other after it gets cheap (I'm talking Wii U VS Vita)
Re: Rayman Legends Leaps onto PlayStation Vita with Exclusive Content
@get2sammyb Cool!
Re: Rayman Legends Leaps onto PlayStation Vita with Exclusive Content
Shame that this probably won't be 4 players though. I hope it gets a Steam release as well since it's no longer Wii U exclusive.
Re: E3 2013: PlayStation Vita Set for 'Surprisingly Big' Showing in Los Angeles
I hope it gets proper showtime this year, they almost ignored it completely in E3 2012.
Re: Yoshida: Always-Online Was Never an Option for PlayStation 4
I hope the 720/Durango is not always online.
Re: GameStop to Cease Accepting PlayStation 2 Trades from 1st June
It took my GameStop a long time to finally get rid of the last of its Xbox, GBA, and Gamecube games.
Re: Yoshida: PS4 Version of Multiplatform Games Must Be Considered the Best
I'm sure Yoshida didn't have the PC on his mind when he said this, because PC gaming is almost non-existant in Japan.
Re: Sony: Our Biggest Focus Is on Games for PS4, Not Applications
I like Yoshida, he seems like a cool guy I 'd have a coffee with.
