So it outsold it for the other 5 years, doesn't really change my point which you side stepped because I was right.

In others the PS3 outsells by a fair margin it is comparable with the reverse in the US.  Whether you like it or not Japan is the difference between the 2 consoles, pure and simple.  I didn't say ignore where the PS3 sells well, I pointed out one regions clear dislike of the Xbox brand which is a completely different trend to the rest of the globe that skews the figures.  

Well then Microsoft should work on Japan to try to get them interested.

It's not Sony's fault that their console is actually performing good in Japan. You can't just count out a region because it "skews" numbers.

360 will never succed in japan for obvious reasons.

Just as obvious as the reason why the PS3 can't outsell the 360 in the US.

Except the PS3 as well as its predecessors have sold millions of software and hardware in the US.

... Back when there was no Xbox around. The first Xbox launched after the PS2 had and many people had friends with PS2's already. Still the Xbox sold better in the US, the hometurf advantage, compared to the other territories.
