You think they care about graphics that much?  Japan has really shown that they don't really care that much.  I would say the portability of the DQ remake is probably about just as important as the bigger graphic difference between the two.  

It's not that theey care about graphics, is that the difference between both is simply astonishing.

5th gen games were the start of 3D models in gaming, and FF7 is so iconic for being one of the pioneers in doing it right, but the kinda of reconstruction we are about to see.... did you just saw midgar? It's like we are about to play it all over again but discovering it anew by doing it, the magnitude of the game and it's changes will be screaming out loud, it'll be a open invite to all past fans to rediscover it and to new gamers to go for it.

It'll be a HUGE success on Japan, and everywhere, and I think it can indeed help Japan to care somewhat more about consoles.

no i mean they really don't care very much.  That's why DQ9 is the best selling DQ of all time even though graphics went backwards a generation instead of forward.  The PS3 was out but instead they use N64 level graphics and it broke so many records in Japan.  You don't provide any evidence even though everyone is actually providing it.  Remakes are not that big, graphics aren't a big factor.  These are things that have been shown over time to be true in Japan.  Just saying because the graphic difference is bigger this time isn't a compelling argument.  The reason FF7 remake is on PS4 is because of the west, because that's what the west wants.  If it was only about Japan it would be on 3DS or vita.
