If I had internet (not counting my phone of course) right now, I'd throw a facepalm meme at you. The release date for Japan won't be announced until September 9th, meaning it will be one of the last major markets to receive the console. Also, Japan's "holiday" season isn't until next year, so I'm sure Sony will announce titles aimed at that market at the Tokyo Gameshow.

 

Edit: No offense, but you really didn't think this through at all....

Why do you feel that he hasn't thought it out?

It's not just about holiday systems, it's about launch systems.  They seem to have a very western focused lineup with few games with any chance of success in Japan.  Games announced at TGS are unlikely to be released this year, so the question is what do they have for this year for Japan.

They've already announced which regions will be receiving the PS4 on the 15th and the 29th of November. Do you really think they'll release it in Japan in December? We don't know what they have in mind for Japan's launch, but it certainly won't be the games they're launching this year. Japan probably won't see the console until February or even March, which would be a month ahead of Golden Week.
