Eh that is debatable, is Grand Tourismo a notoriously good seller in Japan, plus Square might be, if this is the case to be more open to not make the next FF excl in Japan. Plus by the time it is released we will be in the next generation no doubt so it doesn't really come into this current battle.
Going by the trend the next xbox might be more popular in Japan, MS seems to know what it needs to get more popular in certain regions and congrats to them, the ps3 is a major difference from being the weakest (spec wise) to between the most powerful (spec wise).
Sales were obviously going to suffer because the price would also definitely have to go higher in accordance with what items you are using for the console.
This is all just my opinion though.
