Nah, it will probably outsell the PS3 and more than likely the PSP, but not the PS2. The X1 is providing fiercer competition than the Xbox and GC. The PS2 had a huge Japan install base and back when Japan still bought a lot of consoles.
If the PS4 can get huge Japan support early and stay on it constantly then there's a chance I guess; in that it could get somewhat close (maybe 130 million). But Japan needs a huge amount of quality successful titles catered to their liking in order for this to happen. FFXV and DQH need to bring in a lot of Japanese gamers over to the PS4 and satisfy them thoroughly for starters. Then those hardcore enthusiasts will spread the word like wildfire and more and more Japanese gamers will buy the PS4.
