they should focus more on Europe now.

When Japanese people don't appreciate what Microsoft has done for them, then they also don't deserve that kind of service anymore.

What exactly has Microsoft done to institute such an opinion?

Tons of pricecuts and they founded new JRPG IPs such as Infinite Undiscovery, Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey.

A mediacore attempt at a concrete genre. If your going to hit, KO. Those IPs are irrelevant.

Well also the tons of money MS wasted to bring 3rd party JRPGs to the Xbox360.

That's more than any other company has done for the Japanese. So yes, the 360 deserved much more sales in that area.

That's not really doing anything.  If MS didn't pay millions to get timed exclusivity for JRPGs then the Japanese would just play them on the PS3.  MS was trying to help themselves and not Japan.  I fail to see your reasoning saying MS deserved to do better.  In a free market you have to put out a product that people will buy, MS failed to do that in Japan just like Sony to some extent failed to do that with the PS3 in U.S.  No product deserves to do good.
