I wonder how many of the million 360s in Japan are actually owned by japanese gamers? It wouldn't surprise me if more than half of them were bought by non-japanese people living in Japan....

honestly probably a very small percentage.  The boosts in Japan have clearly been due to games that don't sell systems in the west.  The games are still in Japanese for the most part, and the ones that aren't translated you'd be lucky to ever find anyway. 

Even though I support this "theory", when I am in Japan, I always see more Japanese people browsing 360 games than I see people browsing PS3, PSP, Wii, etc. This is in Bic Kamera though. However, sales figures paint a very different picture. Just funny that I see so many people browsing 360 games and the 360 when they practically do not sell anything at all=p

yeah the 360 has a presence in stores, i lived in Japan during the launch of the 360, and i went back there last year as well.  You would think by looking at the sales it would have very little shelf space but it isn't that small.  They had 360 demos set up in the very front of the stores sometimes.  I am pretty sure foreigners buy barely any of those systems.  360 is the otaku system, the nerdiest guys have them.
