No, both markets are equally sized, just cause the Wii sold most in Japan and also worldwide it does not mean, that japan is suddenly more important. In fact looking at the date we have available, we see that the home console software sales have consistently higher then in Japan in the last couple years. So yeah I'd argue that the UK is a more important market than Japan is nowadays.

UK is becoming more important for home consoles because Japan is shifting. During the Wii days, Japan was more important.

Which means your initial post

"In UK.... definitely. 360 sold most in UK and will finish last.... so yeah. UK hardly matters much. I would say Japan matters more actually. "

was completely pointless. Thanks for that.

Not really. That post was addressing someone saying the gen is decided thanks to these sales. I said Japan matters more based off of last gen. Maybe you should stop assuming things.

No, you made the claim of Japan mattering more in home console sales, basing this on Wii selling the most worldwide.

Once again, Japan does not matter more than the UK and it has not mattered more last generation either, you're just assuming things. Like I said same amount of home consoles sold and more software sold in the UK for years clearly suggests that the UK mattered more last gen. Also looking at how neither MS nor Sony are bothering to release their console in Japan this year, it's pretty obvious how important they think the market is. Japans importance in the home console market is dwindling quickly at the moment.
