The wii was at 4,635,778 by the end of 2007, according to Vgchartz. It released in November 18th 2006. So 6+52 = 58. 4,635,778/58 =  84,467 consoles on average. For the week of March 9 2008 the Wii sold 54,088, for March 16th it sold 43,476, for March 23rd it sold 56,258, etc, etc. The baseline was > 50k. So... 

Wii did 12m in Japan... PS3 did close to that too (11m?)... PS2 did over 20m.

So no... Wii didn't get stream in Japan and just did avg. sales... that is why people said Japan console game was dead.

We are talking about weekly sales, not lifetime sales. PS2 and PS3 have been supported on the market for many more years than the Wii. Even if PS4 is supported on the market as long as the PS2 and PS3, its sales will likely not match the Wii's. For the same points in their lifetime, Wii >> PS4, and PS2 >>>>> PS4. That is representative of a declining Japanese console market.
