Japan is currently the weakest market due to a number of things. One being their love of handhelds(phones) and one being the crazy tax hike they got earlier up in the year.
As a console market its going to slowly build itself back up but not until the NEXT Gen. The tax will increase again next year and then sales will drop again. After that its up to them adjusting to the new prices for the next set of gaming devices and games to do well. Every single device over there is doing roughly 2/3rds - 1/2 of what they would be doing if the tax never hit.
