I believe M$ JRPG/S-E strategy, along with the price drop will surprise many. When Tales released M$ stated 360 would not return to full stock in Japan until September, and they knew the price drop was coming. 360 has been largely out of stock, and with a price drop coming there has been no reason to buy it.
I really think Sony needs to worry about M$ in Japan. As of today it's half the price of the PS3 and has the biggest selection of RPG's and the casual games that might sell in Japan are coming ("Lips" & "You're In the Movies", etc). If M$ gets ahead of Sony in Japan they will have given themselves new hope of coming in second this gen, leaving only the European market to Sony.
Anything could happen, but Sony could be in trouble in their own backyard, and that's never a good thing.
