Not really . ps4 has monster hunter, dragon quest , final fantasy, kindom hearts, and almost every other big Japanese game franchise. looking at PSP how did that sell over 20 million in japan? The software according to vgchartz was abysmal for the Japanese market.  

The PSP had a few Monster Hunter games, not just one like the PS4.

PSP

It also had a few Final Fantasy games, Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear Solid and God Eater which piggybacked on the Monster Hunter craze. The PSP didn't have a Dragon Quest, but the number of MH and FF games more than make up for that. One thing that the PSP list shows in general is the higher frequency of game releases back then.

PS4 has to those as well. Sure it doesn't have several Monsterhunter games, but it has much better versions of those other games then plus some. it's disingenuous to say  ps4 doesn't have the games to appeal to the Japanese, it sure does. it just seems like the market there is getting smaller. Even with the switch, it's not even beating 3ds sales, While software is crushing it.
