You're going to see an increase in ownership from the 3 million that the PS3 has now in Japan to between 5 to 7 million PS3s sold in Japan after FFXIII, Versus XIII, and GT5 come out. Not to mention all the other PS3 games like Trico, PS3 Tales of Vesperia, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and whatever exclusive Kojima has brewing for the system next that Japanese gamers will also go nuts over.
The success of the PS3 in Japan and its far greater popularity there than the 360 will ever have in that nation guarantees that the PS3 won't be going away for a long time.

Wow, that sounded more like cheerleading.
I will say this. How will those games push the PS3? Why will they, despite only MGS4 has pushed PS3s?

Do a bit of research. Almost every FF main series game has sold multiple millions of copies in Japan. Both FFVII and FFX sold over 3 million copies in Japan (VII came very close to selling 4 million there). Even FF X-2 sold over 2 million copies in Japan. So, even if you say half the people that were going to buy those games have already bought a PS3 in Japan. that still leaves about two million PS3s to be sold in Japan on the strength of FF XIII, Versus XIII, and GT5. Of course when the PS3 has over 5 million consoles sold in Japan while the 360 has less than 1.5 million many more Japanese developers will be making their hd rpgs as PS3 exclusives as a result (and it will always be in Japanese developers' best interest to port any game that they do make as an exclusive for 360 over to the PS3 see Tales of Vesperia and Star Ocean 4 failing to sell half of what the last one on PS2 did).

I did do research. In fact, I proved your claim as false. Lookie here:http://vgchartz.com/hwcomps.php?cons1=PS2®1=Japan&cons2=GC®2=------&cons3=XB®3=------&start=38662&end=38914
When FF12 came out in Japan, it pushed software sightly, but it didn't make a dramatic shirt. Now, we have the PS3 that is much more expensive and has overshoot the mass market. It wont push sales that much. The same is true of Gran Turismo (the prolouge didn't sell well compaired to the others, leading me to beleive it wont be a big hit).
The problem with your claim is that nothing has changed. People said the same thing of MGS4 and KZ2 amoung others. Yet none of them have changed the market. While everyone tries to hype up these games, the results are usually not as high as Sony fans wished.

Lol are you serious?
Saying GT5 wont sell well... are you even sane?
GT5:Prologue is the best selling "Prologue" game, if you're comparing it to the full releases... then you are daft.
