Why doesn't Japan reflect this?

Japan's about the only country in the world where dedicated handhelds are still healthy. Have you seen 3DS and Vita's sales in North America and Europe lately? They're abysmal. In the most recent weekly hardware chart, 3DS is only slightly above the ailing Wii U, while Vita is on par or worse.

Handhelds sold over 230 million units globally last generation; this gen they're on track to reach about 80 million. That's a decrease of nearly 70% from one generation to the next. That's catastrophic.

Sony recognize this, that's why they've essentially pulled the plug on the Vita.

Ltd numbers are similar across japan, europe and america.
