Yes, Japan matters. It's: 1) Us 2) Europe 3) Japan 4) UK In order of biggest to smaller.
People saying Japan 'doesn't matter' anymore are actually meaning that the more 'Hardcore' or 'Real' games are starting to see a decline in sales in comparison to their predecessors... (example: Sunshine vs Galaxy). Add to that that the 'non-gamer' games or 'casual' games start to see bigger sales in Japan and we have a conclusion that leads to: 'Japan doesn't matter anymore' because it's not dominated anymore by 'real' games... As some like to call it. I however don't care if it's casual or hardcore... But i find it sad to see Mario Galaxy or Zelda TP sell worse then games like Brain Training or something else in Japan.
