They're just late with quality exclusives that appeal to the common Japanese gamer. PS4 doesn't have the Japanese blockbusters yet like Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo, Kingdom Hearts, One Piece, Hot Shots Golf, Dragon's Dogma, Tales of game, Souls game, the popular JRPGS, etc.

When these games start coming I'm sure the PS4 sales numbers in Japan will improve. Wait til after TGS to conclude whether Sony has abandoned Japan.

Most of those games are third-party. Sony themselves haven't bothered to take the initiative and release good first-party Japanese launch titles to help the PS4. And don't even mention Knack.

Then Sony abandoned Japan a long time ago. For a long time the only 1st party titles selling big numbers in Japan have been Gran Turismo and Hot Shots Golf. With Bloodborne, Deep Down, a new Gran Turismo and some few quality JRPGs that's already more 1st party big sellers than ever in PS3's life so I wouldn't say that Sony abandoned Japan.
