This kind of tells me that Japan has become a predominantly mobile and handheld country. But it doesn't mean that there isn't a strong console crowd out there. It just is not as strong as Europe or Japan of the PS2 era. Expect between PS1 & PS3 numbers.
* Close to PS3 because of mobile-first state
* Close to PS1 because PS4 is a lot cheaper than PS3
* Close to PS1 because there is no gigantic Wii overshadowing
We just don't know which of those effects will dominate...
