I don't think its size will be the issue either. Japan simply isn't much interested in dedicated consoles any more, and Sony's focus is clearly on Western audiences. PS4 is struggling to sell as much as PS3 in Japan, which was already massively down from PS2. Doing fine "relative to the climate" at this point means being a distantly secondary contender. 

Outside of VGC, I've not seen a breakdown of PS3 vs PS4 JP numbers. Regardless, there's simply nothing in the console space for Sony to be worried about there, so as noted, barring a lack of games, high price (or both), it should be a natural reduction relative to interest in the region.

I changed the wording to just "conceded", but as a hybrid, Switch can also serve as a console, and indeed the version that can is preferred even in Japan over the handheld-only Lite.
