Japan makes up around 30% of the market, so even if you win the other 2 regions then you will still not come 1st. 

 In terms of Wii-X360-PS3 sales, less than 1 out of every 5 are purchased in Japan.

And while MS might like to be first and have big sales in Nippon, as long as they are ahead of sony they are not going to start crying.  With Madden NFL already selling a million copies, Ballmer might even be getting jolly.
