I think what ain't let the Wii dominate in Japan like the PS2 are the handhelds. Consoles aren't as important as they were in last gen, and the handhelds are the main gaming devices in japan right now.

True, I also thing how not many note worthy Japanese games have launched this generation outside of a few Nintendo games, and a lot of Square stuff on the handhelds.  Probably the biggest Japanese game so far for the home consoles has been Monsterhunter which as already proven to do better than home console versions last gen.  Maybe the over lack of home console support is the reason for the overall drop in week to week sales.

Yeah, the biggest japanese game is a DS exclusive, the big console tittles have taken too long to launch. Also notice how this generation the Wii isn't the only console with big japanese games, an example is FFXIII which is in the PS3, and it's bigger than MH3
