I would moderate it though.
Some Japanese developers are doing better than others in terms of creativity, independently of how well their sales are doing in their internal market.
I find developers like Koei or Namco Bandai are becoming particulary bad, releasing new episodes in franchises every year without innovating much ( at least every year in Madden you get the updated teams, you don't even get that in Dynasty Warrior lol).
Some others like Capcom are doing decently and have managed to export a few of their titles well ( DMC, Resident Evil)
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
