Well, I never bought into the myth, that Japan is or becomes irrelevant for gaming. It isn't. PC and Xbox isn't doing too hot there, but for everything else Japan is the biggest or second-biggest market. I personally also think (and thought back then) that launching the PS4 later in Japan was wrong and hurting Sony.



18.6% of PS1 sales came from Japan
14.7% of PS2 sales came from Japan
12% of PS3 sales came from Japan
8.3% of PS4 sales come from Japan

Japan IS getting more irrelevant each year. Though that doesn't mean that it is irrelevant at the moment,

Agree, fact is that Japan is getting less relevant for Sony when comes to sales, only around 8% sales for Japan from world wide sales is not good result.

PS4 Sales by country: 

#1 US 20m 

#2 Japan 5.4m 

#3 Germany 4.7m

#4 UK 4.3m

#5 France 3.7m

Oh dang! Germany and UK might beat Japan. 

Exactly, It's very possible that Germany and UK will beat Japan numbers at end.
