Sony says the PlayStation 4 won't launch in Japan until 2014 Sep 9th 2013, 18:09 Well, this is unexpected. Sony announced Monday at its pre-Tokyo Games Show press conference that the PlayStation 4 game console will not launch in Japan this year. Japanese consumers will have to wait until February 2014 to purchase the new console. However, the PS4 will launch in North America, Europe, and South America in November.

The Xbox game catalog is packed with titles that appeal to North American and European audiences, with very little support from Japanese developers.

Abandoning its home territory in order to fight Microsoft in North America and Europe seems crazy.
