The anticipated mass sales for Japan will likely happen due to a combination of factors. Cheaper slimline PS3 in combination with Final Fantasy games will IMO surely kickstart PS3 sales big time for Japan.
The PS3 is pretty much the only HD console for Japan and there are just so many anticipated demanding content coming for Japan, the PS3's future is pretty much secured.
It's a long race (and the PS3 is specced like that), slow sales the first couple of years until games like Final Fantasy and/or Dragon Quest games arrive was pretty much anticipated.
