Seeing that there is no real home console rival in Japan for the PS4, it might actually do better than the PS3. Even so, Im expecting the PS3 to reach 11 million in Japan, so 13-15 million LT is not out of the question.

Never the less, Im not expecting console gaming to grow in that country.

About a year ago I expected the WiiU to run away with it in Japan and gain support from all big to medium japanese centric devs/ips. That didn't really happen (yet?), but still the WiiU should be a strong contender in Nippon and actually I don't see much Sony can do to "win" or even improve their market share in Japan with the PS4.

True, but the fact that most major 3rd party Japanese IPs will most deffinitly appear on the PS4 and not the WiiU (FFXV, KH3, next RE, MGS5 etc.) will make it certain that the PS4 will catch up, overtake and eventually lead in Japan. And lets be honest, the WiiUs lead will be minimal to almost nothing untill February. It might not even make it to 2 million by then...
