PS4 definitely isn't dead in Japan.  It's just overdue for a permanent price cut.  It's still selling for ~$270.  It really needs a cut to ¥22,999 (~$210.)

Didn't they last cut the price in Japan just half a year ago?

In any case, PS4 needs a pricecut, not just in Japan, but worldwide.

Not sure when the last time they did a permanent cut, but since it still selling for the equivalent of $270, it's still too expensive at this point in time.  As sales during the holidays prove, there are still plenty of people out there who want a PS4, but can't afford $270 & $300. 

I do agree it needs to be WW.  Though, I think Japan probably needs it the most.  PS4 was only down 4% on a weekly average in the US in Jan.  Not bad for a system that is going on 5 1/2 years old and still being sold for $299.  When they do cut, I think it needs to be at least down to ~$210 in Japan and ~$250 in other parts of the world.
