It's poor marketing, they never really understood how to push the system there. First of all, unlike here where X = cool in a lot of ways, X = bad in Japan. So their system is basically the "bad-box". Who would buy that?

Right. And for reference the nickname for the MS console is "shit-box" in Japan, not "bad-box". I'm not making that up. The 360 has a mountain of bad image to overcome in Japan.

 Do they really call it the sh** box? Thats hilarious. Seriously.
