It is true that the Japanesse market is nowhere near what the American and European markets are (Others will soon be making America look like Japan but that's another story). But the Japanesse tend to latch on to one item (DS, PS2, NES) and ride it to amazing sales considering the population of the region. (If DS hits 30 million it would be at like 1/4 of the population, and it has a real shot). That combined with the fact that Video Gaming is inheriently Japanesse (kinda where most of it (and even more of the good ones) comes from) tells you why people still pay attention to the Japanesse market.
Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.
One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.
