Apples and oranges though.  Japan is by far the failed Vita's strongest territory.  And it's had 28 months extra on the market.  Including 3 extra holiday periods.  

I still think it tells you something about the general state of home consoles in Japan.

PS2 is the best selling video game system ever worldwide.
In Japan it's only a couple millions above the PSP and 3DS (and 10 mill below DS and GB).
PS2 is the only home console in the top 5 best selling systems in Japan (the rest are handhelds).
In Japan it sold 23.18 mill and PS4 will probably end up around 1/3 of those sales.

Japan loves their handheld gaming.

It will end up closer to half then a third.  People need to stop bringing up the ps2. That market is gone.  It's now a market where 10m is what you can sell.  Wii and ps3 beat it,  ps4 will come close and might beat it too. I'll just leave this here.  Ps4 is tracking very well.
