I don't really think sony is out off the way in japan, the ps4 will most likely become the go to japanese game console while the ps vita is really hitting it's stride, even with a weak selection off games

Home consoles are finished in Japan IMO. A future Nintendo console/handheld hybrid type device will probably be the final nail in the coffin and I think that's closer that some people might think.

I've been thinking this as well.

Tho how the hybrid would exactly be, is still up in the air.

The Wii U in reverse, I would think. A tablet-esque controller-cum-handheld, possibly with detachable buttons and triggers and analogues (i keep seeing ads for this thing called the WikiPad, something like that) to give it more form factor when you want to do mobile-type gaming, or more traditional factor when you want more traditional gaming, that would be synchable to set-top boxes (like DirecTV) or to Smart TVs, or Nintendo could sell their own little optional receiver for TVs, possibly with an optional disc drive for those who prefer to own games that way, but everything's processed on the pad's end.

I'm sure by the end of this decade they'd be able to cram something maybe 2x as strong as Wii U into the U Pad.

They should have come out with that last year instead of WiiU when it would have been unique and exciting.  By the time such a device hits the market it will be competing with already established gaming tablet/consoles going into their second to forth editions depending on when this Wii3 device hits.   While Nintendo fans will of course buy it, it may get lost in the shuffle for the casual market and still lack appeal for the core.
