Japan is a very minor market when compared to North America and Europe.

In terms of individual countries, Japan has a very large video game market, but it has been left behind in the dust when it comes to regional markets.

The old Japanese region now has to be called the Asian Market if its to compete with Europe and America in terms of playstation. No individual country bar the USA has sold more ps4's then Japan. It's obviously very important to Sony. Not only have they increased sales this gen over the ps3 last gen but the profit margin for the console both hardware and software is ridiculously better. Oh Sony care alright. 

Japan is the 10th most populated country in the world so it makes sense that it sells a lot of PS4s. It’s just not big enough to be treated as a region like it used to be. Also, Sony doesn’t care because otherwise they would try and build Japanese-centric franchise.
