Well ,there has been some good japanese games released as Dynasty Warriors 6,Gran Turismo 5 Prologue ,Devil May Cry 4 ,Disgaea 3 ,Everybodys Golf 5 ...and the sales have improved when it happened .
By the way ,when MGS4 is released there the 80Gb is released with it so if the loss of BC is hurting the system there that should stop it .
I think the main problems with PS3 in Japan is price and design .Japanese are recently very price sensitive ...its difficult that a console triumphs while significantly more expensive that the competition .There are some otakus and hardcore gamers that wont care the difference in price and get it nonetheless but those are the ones getting the machine .And in the design the PS3 is too bulky and big for japanese liking .A PSthree slim would turn the tables even more that the PSP Slim there .
