I'll tell you why. It's because they sold out their own people to grab a slice of the US pie and take it to MS. As a result, the Wii-U, as console with AAA Japanese games developed by Japanese developers, has stolen their thunder. It's going to be an uphill battle winning that country back after this imo because it means releasing Japanese games and they don't have that as a priority.

WiiU isn't exactly selling like hotcakes either, so if there is still a decent market for home consoles in Japan then the market is still wide open for one or other to dominate. The only thing is, as you say, Wii U already has Japanese interest games, but we're yet to see the effect of such games on PS4 while PS3 continues to sell ok.

itl be interesting what shin megami tensei x fire mblem does for wii u there?
