You mean the mario kart 8 bundle? Japan did not receive the same treatment. Plus the had the worst promotion which only allowed the free game to be played for one month.

Software sales are great, but the hardware bump leaves more to be desired.

Which leaves me to wonder if they made the Japan MK8 bundle/promo to have parity with the rest of the world if we'd see better sales.

Not by much I'm afraid..

This seems to be a Japanese thing, ever since the tax hike the market has declined steeply - affecting all consoles from the sublime 3DS to the second coming of home consoles, PS4. Cost of living might be a large part of it, Japanese folks don't have the same disposable income they had before
