Is Nintendo focusing to much on Japan?

For Western devs, handhelds have never been that much of a focus for them.
People like Majesco or whatever who are smaller can benefit but... people like EA, Ubi, Activision etc do not really drill in support unless they stumble upon a hit and milk it.

H-games are more important to Japanese developers seeing how their market is structured.

Pretty much this. I mean, I saw a comment from someone at Valve the other day. They've no plans of moving into the handheld arena anytime soon, be it 3DS, Vita or otherwise.

The PSP, despite being the more 'western' device and being heralded in the west as the next big thing at the time (doesn't that seem familiar to events of today), it certainly didn't get much western support outside of the first 18 months/2 years of its life. It was ultimately Japanese devs that gave the PSP a lot of content for most of its life.
