Sony = Japanese

Microsoft = American

Japense people think

Japan >>> America.

Yet Apple products outsell their Sony competitors in Japan.

And what Apple products would you be referring to? Surely not the iPhone, it was a failure in Japan.

The biggest factor would be that Sony has had a presence in Japan much longer than Microsoft, and has more franchises that the Japanese people like. It's as simple as that.
