The PS3 has *already* had a steller lineup- in Japan, for year#1 - and most of the titles bombed (at least compared to PS2 software sales).

These sales are really terrible (more so when compared to the dev costs) - the PS3 has now had TWO Christmas's already:

Dynasty Warriors 5 - under 400k
Time Crisis 4 - under 40k
Gundam Musou - under 300k
Ninja Gaiden - under 100k
Ridge Racer 7- under 150k
FolksSoul - under 50k

I don't think you know enough about the Japanese market.  Many members on this site have analyzed Japanese gamers' behavior and custom.  They don't like to buy new IP unless it is really good.

Among the title you listed, only few are considered as big titles for Japanese and they are all doing very well.  The sale numbers of Dynasty Warriors 6, Dynasty Warrior Gundam, and Hot Shot Golf 5 in Japan alone are OK.  I don't know why you call these games "bombed".

Some games don't sell because they are crap.  The same rule also applies to Wii.  Consumers are smart enough to say no to them.
