Will the Wii ever outsell the PSP in Japan?

Yes, the Wii will pass the PSP in Japan.

Align their launches and see for yourself:

If the PSP were to win, then the PSP would have to sell this well forever, and the Wii would have to have this drought forever. Both are possible, but I highly doubt that's what will happen.

The PS3 is selling better than the 360 when you align launches, so...

It won't happen. Japan is very handheld oriented now and even big games like Monster Hunter or Dragon Quest couldn't fill a gap that large.

The difference is the PS3 will never get that year back.  Both being next generation systems... the next generation will appear at the same time for them.

The real question is how many years will the PSP last before it's replaced and will it last longer then the Wii in terms of total years on the market.

If the PSP2 comes out within the next couple years the Wii should definitly do it.  The only way it shouldn't would be if the PSP has a longer lifespan as the "Main" sony handheld.

Even then the Wii has a good chance to leg it out.
