There aren't much of any Japanese centric games on the PS4. It is very much a western shooter box as of now. I don't think such a console appeals to Japanese gamers.

Most of the support from Japanese devs seem to be towards PS3 and Vita. In fact I myself an waiting for the PS4 to receive support from Japanese devs.

Is that a home made graph you made in excel? Using VG chartz numbers? Yeah, I'm not too worried.

yeah, it's a no brainer that PS4 isn't doing well in japan, it really it's japanese oriented games for good sales to happen..the only games that are coming up maybe MGSV:PP and maybe if the rumor turn out to be real RE7, but even that won't really turn things around; S-E/Sega-Atlus/Namco/Konami/Capcom/others really need to get moving on creating some next-gen titles(well I'm sure they are but atleast announcing them)
