It's interesting to see those numbers grouped:

84k Sony combined
42k Nintendo combined

47k PS3 & PS4
7.7k Wii U

Yes, that is much worth notice. I remember people saying that "Nintendo owns Japan", but that's over (provided it's ever been a reality).

Iwata will have a hard time justifying his charts from now.

I've never believed that "Nintendo owns Japan."  I always felt it was a war between Sony and Nintendo.  Nintendo has the advantage in being the most popular handheld seller when Japan is heading towards being more handheld-centric.  

Also, combining PS3 & PS4 isn't really a fair comparison to the Wii U by itself when the PS4 is still relatively fresh in their market (regardless of the rather large drop-off).  

35k of the 47k is PS4.  

Also worth noting: Wii U is notably doing less in Japan than in the other regions.
