Regardless of whether the 360 'needs' Japan, Microsoft won't get it. No time soon, anyhow.
So it may not be possible for the 360 to take the lead in a ‘world wide’ sales but to me its not a big deal. I’m very pleased with my 360 so far. =)
North America is, by far, the most successful place for the 360, so we see things in the best possible light for the console. That said, something needs to be done. The 360 is far from generating a profit for a fiscal year, and further from generating any sort of reliable profit or recovering from the huge losses it has incurred. Sales have been following a general trend of slowing. If the PS3 surpasses the 360 late next year, or perhaps in 2009, then Microsoft will be looking at being in last place in the console market for the first time.
