I live in Japan and Know this market pretty well. To be honest, the PS3 has been selling poorly here, but this has been because of the lack of Nippon titles that we have. plenty of gaijin games but, which they don't really get into. The release of MGS4 is the start of a chain though and the PS3 should pick up progressivly.
The Number one game in the charts that the Japanese are waiting for is FF13. The 360 rpg's arn't even close. When this gets released, the 360 will be in big trouble! Also, most of these 360 rpg's are also comming to the PS3 and are also in the top 40 most wanted for the PS3 at the moment, except IU.
The problam is that the 360's strengths are extreamly weak here. Also, most Nipponjin do not own 2 current consoles like u think they would. All my friends only support one as they have no time/money to play all, so Sony will win more votes compared to the 360, because they will eventually have much more software compared to the 360 and they are Japanese.
The 360 is at it's peak everwhere.
