Over 6 years since its launch The X360 has sold only 1.6 million units. At around 250k average per year in Japan. The original XBox in 4  years did not even sell 1 million units in Japan. XBox and X360 combined sold around 2.5 million units sold in Japan in 10 years.

Why does Microsoft continue with the X360 in Japan?

IMHO from a business perspective it would be more profitable and cost effective for Microsoft to abandon the Japan market. Wouldn't it be more profitable and cost effective for Microsoft to sell in all other regions outside Japan?

Feel free to shed light on this issue.

Why does MS even bother releasing the 360 in Austrailia? Fun fact, the Austrailia 360 userbase is smaller then Japan. 

Just because its not popular, that still 1.6 million 360s sold. Every market is still a market.
