Actually marginally more games were sold in UK last year than in Japan (thanks to MW3) but games itself are a lot more expensive in Japan (PS3 games retail normally with 8000 yen price tag = 65 pounds...) and majority of the games ltd sales come from full price when in UK the price collapses rather quickly. Also as HW market Japan has always been far bigger. With these combined the Japanese market makes a lot more revenue.
