This is actually pretty bad achievement beacuse on all other markets PS4 passed Wii U in less than 1 year, while in Japan needed 2.5 years.

That's one way to look at it. Another is that the ps4 got great western games that didn't apeal much to the Japanese (e.g. Uncharted 4) and it's only now that it's getting big Japanese centric games (e.g. Persona 5). Wiiu, on the other hand, had plenty of huge games from the start (Mario, smash, kart, etc), includimg a game that has sold more than any ps3 pr ps4 game and has crazy legs (Splatoon). ps4 has just started brining out the big guns, so yeah, it's pretty danr impressive it's sold so well with these releases.

To be fair, PS4 was selling great in West even without must having PS4 games or great exclusives (U4 was released only 4 months ago). Nothing really is impressive about PS4 sales in Japan, actually compared to WW sales they are very disappointing, PS4 WW sale numbers are currently  round 45m and from that number only around 3m was sold in Japan, that is bad not impressive.

Speaking about Wii U sales, Wii U is dead for quiet time now and soon will be discounted becuse NX is coming in near future.
