Reasonable on 15 December 2009
I think they need to be there, but I think they should drop the expenditure. It seems that throwing a lot of money around to fund new IPs, etc. and huge marketing events simply doesn't make much difference, therefore if I was MS I'd cut back funding for the region to what is in line with sales but definately stay in the region.
If they sell 2M this gen LTD they have a shot at more than that next gen. They should simply settle for slow, steady growth and rely on their success in US to draw Japanese developers onto the platform.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
