Apart from their new IP's for Japan, new comer - White knight (that I feel may garner FF like figures eventually) and ofcourse the grand daddy of proven IPs in the region - Final Fantasy - will be the litmus test. If FF doesn't shift mind blowing # of consoles in Japan then I'd say yes, Japan belongs to Nintendo. Though I expect Everybodies Golf to move a very good number of consoles, I'm not expecting an over whelming spike in hardware sales from it.

Quick correction. Dragon Quest is the grand daddy. FF is a perennial runner up

nope, you're wrong. Dragon Quest is the perennial runner up. The Grand Daddy in Japan is Pokemon. Final Fantasy doesn't even place.

And the top three are all exclusive to Nintendo now. There is no hope that Sony will be ahead of Nintendo by 2012. In fact, I will say right now, categorically, to make Chubear happy, that the PS3 will never outsell the Wii over a year in Japan until the end of their respective lives.
