I don't think your figures stack up.
If 60-70% of sales are outside Japan, then AT LEAST 30% are INSIDE Japan. Since you say that both Europe and America beat Japan, then if on average they have 32% each, that leaves only 8% for the rest of the world, which I think is unlikely.
But whether that's true or not, these figures show that Japan is very close to both North Amnerica and Europe in sales, and is almost certainly therefore the number one COUNTRY in the world for Pentax camera sales (North America includes Canada, don't forget).
So what happens in Japan is definitely very significant. By your own figures, it's a third of the world market.

Pentax doesn't state sales by countries, only by regions, but the US is significantly larger than the domestic market. approximately 60-70% of Pentax's camera sales are outside Japan. by region, it's Americas, Europe, and then a tossup between Japan and the rest of Asia and Pacific.

So which countries are bigger? Bear in mind I said "country", and I was referring to the market for DSLRs. The EU, for instance, is not a country.
