Japanese video game industry publication Famitsu is reporting that the PlayStation 4 is already a hit in the nation.
The company has sold 322,083 units in the first 48 hours of availability, adding to the company's 5.3 million sold in North America and around the globe to date.
Sony now expects to sell 12 million units by the end of 2014, making it a huge success. The company is handily beating the more expensive Xbox One, as well. In Japan, it is expected to be no contest, as Microsoft has historically had a very tough time competing there in Sony's home country.
For Japanese consumers, the PS4 is offered in its standard package for for ¥41,900 (~$405 USD) and a bundle with a PlayStation Camera and a free download of Knack for ¥46,100 (~$450 USD).
