America April 2012: $630.4 million
Japan April 2012: $412.9 million

Software only is even closer:

US: $292.1 million
Japan: $266.2 million

Japan is that biggest market out there for video games besides North America.

Is this comparison suppossed to maked American numbers look bad? Implying that America is barely ahead of Japan?

It does show the US market is doing awful. It normally doubles the Japanese market, and for a portion last year, the UK was pushing Japan for 2nd market. Since then, the Japanese market has recovered a bit and the American market has fallen badly.
