The Japanese gaming market did very badly in 2008, for a list of known reasons that shant be repeated in 2009.

Square Enix happened to have very few games in 2008, they will have huge games in 2009.
In 2008, SE had alot of ports and a few spin offs of Final Fantasy, as well as the money hatted 360 games.

In 2009, SE will release a game in Japan from each of their two biggest series - Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. They have also shifted development away from the PS360 towards PS/PSP/Wii, which should increase sales.

Capcom also looks to have better games in 2009 than 2008.

Nintendo focused on the West in 2008, but looking at their release schedules, Japan has twice as many announced releases as Others, and more than twice the Americas. Wii Sports Resort, Sin and Punishment and the GC ports should boost sales

Japan will be fine
