Not really, the effect on PS3 in Japan was a change in the market landscape.

How so?

PS2 (23m) + GC (4m) + XB (0.5m) = 27.5m
PS3 (10.5m) + Wii (12.8m) + 360 (1.7m) = 25m

Are we going to ignore that Wii didn't directly compete with PS3 and X360 just to validate your point?

It is know in VGC that console gaming have been dwindling in Japan since 7th gen.
