360 big in Japan, but new PS3 could usurp lead

It's clear to see that MS has no clear strategy.

They switch up all the time.

First it was 'First to 10 million sold wins the console race', then it was 'EU! EU! EU!' and now it's 'all about Japan'.

This is all the span of about a year.

They have no idea what they are focusing on, and it's hurting them immensely. Putting all the money that they put into Japan into EU would have yielded immensely better results.

That's true, but maybe the problem is they think money can solve anything, they put an awful lot of money into their projects for expansion and they take for granted that success is owed to them due to this. And strangely enough, most of the blindest MS fanboys have this same cast of mind about money, I read far too often people writing that as Bill Gates is so rich he must be right, whatever the issue, even talking about verified unfair competition practices or even brown Zunes 

I don't believe money can solve everything or capture every market, and I'm not a big fan of Mr. Gates or MS, and I own Macs.  But I like my 360 (2+ years with the 1 unit), and I like the games available for it.

If I refused to buy an Xbox because MS made it, then I would also refuse to buy anything Sony (I have LOTS of Sony electronics) because of problems I've had with some of their products (their large-tube TV quality-control in the late 80's was a joke), and because of their often aggressive approach regarding DRM (root-kit installing CDs come to mind).

But then again I can probably find fault with just about every mega-company out there.
