EASILY (especially if it has a 10 year life cycle...imagine when you can buy a ps3 for $149.00)...you forget that not a single big JRPG has been released in Japan on the ps3.
Yakuza 3 and DMC4, GT5:P, HSG5 were semi-big, but definitely not Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest big.
Once (IF) a steady supply of JRPG's start to come, you'll see the ps3 explode in sales.
Three things need to happen in Japan:
1. JRPG's: FFXIII, WKC, FFvsXIII, etc. (And many more, many find it hard to buy a $400 console for one or two games)
2. Slim model
3. Price Drop
