Define "stuffed". If you mean in terms of "becoming the #1 console this gen" - then yes, almost certainly.
The PS3 is cheaper in Japan than anywhere else. It has more bundles. It already has two colours, and DUALSHOCK is available. It arguably has more "hits" in Japan than elsewhere - and of everywhere in the world, its the country where the 360 is the "least" competition.
Its also a country with a huge HDTV penetration ratio.
...and yet - the PS3 has been soundly whipped by the Wii (to date anyway), and is potentially now selling slower than the 8 year old PS2 is.
(it launched BEFORE the Wii, which has outsold it by approx 2.7:1 since launch)
...
But in terms of being "stuffed" as in never selling, or doing insignificant numbers - definitely not.
In the end, it comes down to Sony "proving" the PS3 can result in "new gaming experiences" - rather than just prettier ones. And social gaming has well and truly taken off there (as well as the rest of the world).
