360 to outsell the ps3 again in Japan?

Okay, let's say the 360 comes in second this generation, but the jrpgs never really take off on the 360 in the USA and whereeverelse the 360 is popular.

If that happens, do you really expect MS to exert a lot of effort to secure jrpgs next time out or will we again see a situation where predominantly the only genres that sell on the next xbox are shooters, sports, and racing games. I am reminded of this year's E3 where Capcom was debuting Resident Evil 5 and Microsoft seemed to be getting impatient with them and rushed them off the stage to demo Gears of War 2. I mean who did Microsoft think they were and who did they think that Capcom was? The Resident Evil 5 team should not have been treated that callously especially when you consider the fact that almost 70% of Gears of War is just Resident Evil 4 for Dummies (the other 30% being ripped off from Halo, Madden, Max Payne, and The Thing the Video Game.) with slightly shinier graphics.

JRPGs don't have to be immenstly popular to justify exclusivity, compared to FPS and racing sims the development budgets are much lower so the cost to secure exclusivity is likely less also.
