it was never alive there IMO.... but it's not really dead either.... let me explain right now the 360 doesn't have a life in japan.... but it can build momentum for a next gen....I don't think XB will work this time and not especially the next one either... but next one we could expect something closer to a Europe type of launch for a not so famous console.... this generation is going to prove to japan that XB can provide good games for their taste and if the next gen is not failing like this one and continue its effort of providing games for that market they might buy it way more but still not more than other... but that's a good start to set a foot in a market.... for now they just have to try to build brand name by advertising and stay in view enough to tickle the interest durably, and maybe trigger a buy on the next generation....
