I wonder where it would leave MS if the games they secured or devs they got support from didnt make their money back in Japan.

You are right to an extent, but you have to realise, no one thought the 360 will sell a million units + in japan and it has. the generation of gamers is changing. this gen 360 might get 1million+ in japan, next gen it mite have 3million+ and so forth.
MS need to do what nintendo did, secure a anime which is doing well and then create a studio in japan which blasts out sequel after sequel off that game.
In fact Sony should do that too. I am sure Sony had something to do with Bleach, I cannot see why theyhaven't made a nice hack and slash game out of it. It could be epic if done right :p
