The PS3 and 360 happened, people like too blame the 360 but the PS3 is as well too blame. PS3 was hard too develop for during its time and it off-putted a lot of developers to going to handhelds and mobile. And 360 for being a console not many Japanese wanted.

That can't be the reason, the decline started a generation before that.

Maybe or maybe not, it didn't help that's for sure. Also the PS2 sold 20+mil in Japan, the PS3 has done only 10+ mil, that is where the decline started. GC and Xbox didn't do well in Japan and that was because both barely had any games the Japanese wanted.
