When does Sony reach the point of no return in Japan?

I don't see that happening as the DS and Wii are dominating Japan and any dev would be stupid to ignore that. and is any dev stupid enouth to ignora the FACT that PSP has more 3rd party 1Million sellers then DS ? that 3rd party Wii games are struggling to out sell PS3 games ?

Raw numbers don't matter as much as profit. A game that sells, say, 300,000 copies can be more profitable than a game that sells, say, a million copies, depending on the development costs of each. And it's to Sony's disadvantage that development costs happen to be much higher on PSP and PS3 than DS and Wii.
