Only problem with that is gen 7. Playstation didn't dominate then yet we still had plenty of fantastic games. Would suggest that it's more of a coincidence that PS did so well during gens with great games before rather than there being a direct relationship between the two.

The PS3 had a lot of good games but it was sorely lacking with the japanese ports. If it sold well earlier on, it would of had more games. 

We'll never know but I too think that the early success of the Xbox 360 with Xbox Live and its online shooters coupled with the late and expensive launch of the PS3 affected the market share of Japanese 3rd party publishers in a negative way.

Whether that's good or bad is of course subjective but personally I miss many Japanese IPs nowadays.
