This is pure specualtion on my part.
Fro mwhat I see Ninty have just decided to play this generation as safe as possible and make back as much money from the Wii U as they can. I really can't see them spending big money securing all these games for the Wii U at this stage. They seem to get them for the 3DS by default as the PSV is so far behind it so maybe they'll settle for that in Japan.
If Sony flex their musscles the PS4 could be a massive succes over there. Resident Evil, DQ11, Monster Hunter, Yokai Watch, Final Fantasy, GTA 6, KIngdom Hearts 3, MGS5, next tales game. And I'm sure you can think of some more. It's not out of the realms of possibility they could secure all of those and they'd sell millions upon millions of extra PS4's in Japan with all those games (many already confirmed). Due to the PS4 success WW they'd also shift plenty of units for each of them (some a lot more than others) outside of Japan.
The other thing is the xbox one doing so bad. The 360 hit the ground running and built up a user base. MS further built on that by doing some big 3rd party deals. I can't see them or the Japan 3rd partys wanting to do something similar. Especially with the momentum for the PS4 starting to pick up in Japan.
