Sony currently has the PS2/PS3/PSP/PSV and soon to be PS4. I'd imagine it would be hard for retailers to keep stocking so many systems in Japan, they have to cut something. They also have to keep stock of the DS (although they aren't really replenishing stock of this), Wii(will probably fade out the longer the Wii U is around), 3DS and Wii U. MS only has the 360 in Japan and it doesn't sell that much so keeping much stock isn't a problem.
They are also still releasing games for the 360, so that is not a problem. On the other hand I haven't seen a new PS2 game released in ages. The PS2 game sections in stores is also slowly dwindling.
RIP PS2. I've owned several JP PS2's over the years. I still have one JP PS2 under my tv now.
