Points:
1.) I wouldn't say they were smarter if they were they wouldn't have had the rrod thing.
Sony is the batshit dumbass company this gen, but we won't go there.
2.) Yeah, even if the PS3 was selling so badly that it was being pulled from American store shelves it will be the reverse when PS3 hits 6 to 7 million sold in Japan during the next fifteen months. So what does that mean? And, we would start to miss out on all those jrpg exclusives that will be heading the PS3's way once it establishes that large of an install base in Japan while the 360 will still be under 1.5 million. I would miss them. I like jrpgs more than shooters.
Japan is a fairly insignificant market. Selling at best 5k a week there doesn't mean much. Furthermore I hope you like the Wii/DS, because they will be getting the majority of them.
3.)When more Japanese games start to come to the PS3 as a result of what I outline in 2, you will see more diversity in third party games for the 360 and PS3.
A diversity only a very small niche in the west care about, way to dodge the point.
4. ) Actually as far as exclusives go on 360 if game isn't called Halo or Gears or Fable on 360 it tends to have far fewer sales than most of the exclusives on PS3.
I could say that no exclusive which hasn't been bundled has cracked 3M on the PS3, really you're still so frightened of Rol that you resort to sillyness.
5.)releasing a year earlier typically means that you'll be the first to release your next console while the other system will probably be out longer. Genesis, SNES. Dreamcast, PS2.
Finally you address the OP properly! Err No, you have to prove why rather than just stating because X happened after Y, Y causes X to happen.

1.) Yeah, I mean at least half of their consoles burn up inside after you've owned them for a couple of years. Wait, were we talking about Sony? I thought we were talking about Microsoft.
2.) Last time I checked PS3 was selling at 20,000 a week in Japan, and Final Fantasy XIII, Versus, GT5, Team ICO Project haven't been released yet while the 360 was selling worse than the PS2 and less than 5,000 a week, and games from Square Enix and Namco on 360 were getting smashed in sales by games by Level 5 on the PS3.
3.) But a diversity that a lot of people in Japan do care about. Heck, I haven't seen one game in Japan for 360 even sell as well as exclusive action adventure games on the PS3 there like Kenshan! and Yakuza 3. I'd rather have both of those in the US than Gears 2 or Halo 3.
4. Has Uncharted been bundled? It was a new IP that sold 2.32 million. Which is quite a bit more than Madworld on the Wii for example. And, I'm sure its sequel will do even better.
5. Ever had a sociology course in school and heard the dictum, "You can judge what is going to happen in the future from what has happened in the past?"
