Sorry, I guess I should've been more clear.  I wasn't referring to the tracking, so using term "Other" wasn't the best approach.  I was referring more to news reporting and forum attention as far as it's overall importance to sales.  

As others have mentioned, yes handhelds are big in Japan, but this thread is talking about the PS4 and X1.  

Ah, I also thought you meant tracking. As far as the PS4 and especially the X1 are concerned, Japan will not be a major market.

Though I don't think the relevancy of markets should be defined by how well the PS4 and X1 sell there. If they don't sell well in Japan, I'd rather say, "Sony and Microsoft better step up their game in Japan," than "It doesn't matter that the PS4 and X1 aren't selling in Japan because they're not selling in Japan so it doesn't matter."
