The PS4 is a MAJOR flop in Japan - we need to talk about it

I wouldn't go as far as calling it a flop. It's a decent performance especially with the lack of any heavy-hitters at this time in the console's life. That said, I'm not sure about it selling out in Japan as some have mentioned. 

You can pretty much walk into any major electronic store and buy the console right away. Amazon Japan even has some First Limited Pack consoles in stock and ready to ship (the prices have gone up a notch, though).

Japanese gamer's realized how terrible knack is

 

Maybe there is hope down the road. After all, even UENO Juri is appearing in a drama this year after a few years hiatus ;)

I found the correlation between Pikmin 3 launch and the huge Wii U spike in sales:
