Cant say I agree at all.  Japan is completly locked down for Nintendo IMO now.  

While I expect Japan to be WiiU's strongest market.  I wouldn't say it's 'locked down'.  That will depend on what Sony comes out with.  However Sony's been more focused on Western gamers with their games so Japan remains Nintendo's best hope.
