PS4 to launch across Asia before Japan
It means that Japan, the spiritual home of the PlayStation business, will be the last major territory to stock the new console. The Japanese PS4 release date is February 22 next year.
While a release data for Asia territories has yet to be finalised, on Wednesday a PlayStation representative confirmed the new system would ship "December 2013".
Some launch games will be specialised for Asia. Ubisoft's Watch Dogs, for example, will come with Chinese and Korean subtitles.
In May, CVG reported that Sony had undergone a strategic review and determined Europe and the US its main priority regions, while Japan moved down the list due to the lack of competition in the region.
Xbox One will release on November 22 in 13 markets including North America, the UK and Australia. The system releases across Japan and Asia in 2014, though a final date has not been specified.
PS4 will release November 15 in the US and November 29 in Europe and Australia.

Aggie This still does not make any sense to me.
I would have thought Japan would get it first.
I guess they save the best (in their opinion) for last???

Lightyear-Skillz Lol I find this pretty funny
Sorry Japanese people lol
I know right, it's weird how they get the console later and I'd be mad if I lived in Japan!
I wouldn't be mad personally I would just buy it abroad and have it shipped, but it is unusual for a company not to sell it where their head base is lol.

I think that is disrespectful to Japan. They should be the first ones to stock the PS4, Since they are franchise of Sony.

Well its like the Xbox One it will be delayed in Japan as it needs a serious facelift if it is going to do well in the Japanese Market I think Sony are going to see what it is like in the European Market as well as the US market and make the changes they need for the Japanese market.
