Will the PS4 top the Wii U in Japan this week?

Microsoft skipping TGS and Sony not really trying is a clear indication of how they about Japan. The console market there is nearing obsoletion. Why champion sales where your highest console sells 18k on a holiday week? As for the topic at hand, the PS4 most likely won't but the PS4 baseline will rise/level out as big titles start to release starting with Destiny.

So then does anything really matter in Japan anymore? Anymore than it does in let's say...Germany for instance.

Is or should our love affair with Japanese game sales come to an end? It seems that Japan and China are more into portability than anything else anyways. I hear.

Japan is important for game development, sound, game design and trends but as a source of weekly sales, especially during the off months (which is 83% of the time, outside November and December) its a setting sun, especially for consoles.  Im sure the German market for consoles have declined but not to the effect of Japan and upstart markets like China will be the new hot spots as it will be the wild west there.  Itll be exciting to see a new group of people embrace console buying.
