People believed that PS4 would take the Japanese market by storm but it only did below average. I'm worried it won't even reach 10 million in the 8 years it took for PS3

I don't recall anyone saying it would do anything astronomical. In fact, people had (and have) accepted the declining home console appeal, there. That's not a PS4 problem, but a regional one. 

Lets look at the other side of htings - it isn't that far behind the PS3, in the same time frame, and it didn't release at the strongest period (also unlike the previous PlayStation), yet it managed 1 million in under 365 days. That's hardly, "below average". Plus, since I don't see a list of strong software, that 1 million, with very little to offer the region, in under a year, offers a sign of good things to come.

PS4 had the 3rd biggest launch in the region but then its weekly sales plummeted to really low levels. 

Since the dedicated hardware market is on the decline in Japan, it makes PS4 reaching 10 million that much more unobtainable.
