Neither HD console has taken off in JP yet. The PS3 almost always outsells the 360, but PS3 sales are still dismal in JP.
Maybe JP will skip the HD consoles this generation, or maybe they are just waiting for a cheaper price and a decent game library.
Even the Wii isn't doing great in JP. It's selling the best of any console, but it's really only selling as well as the PSP. Good but far from the DS.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
— Pat Buchanan – A Republic, Not an Empire
