for console manufacturers; which gaming market is more important (has more sales potential / bigger / etc...), Europe or Japan?

Also, will it matter much (for console manufacturers) not selling well in Japan or Europe?

Importance of the market as far as game development wise is Japan.

Well , if you lose by a wide margain in Japan , then Japanese developers will start passing on games for that platfrom which will have an affect on European sales in the end.

Japanese money is not the only form of currency Japanese developers will take.
