Reasonable on 01 May 2010
Maybe - but not at current rate of weekly sales unless the 360 is on the market for a long time in Japan.
I actually wonder whether it's worth MS time in Japan. They got to just over 1.2 million but it required a lot of exclusives or timed exclusive of jRPG titles plus a heck of a lot of marketing, advertising, etc. In other words so far as I can see MS must have spent a fortune for very little return and to end up way behind anyway.
Looking at things as they stand if I was MS I'd release in Japan of course, but I'd focus that kind of money and effort on US/Europe and look to grow my global market-share figures from those territories.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
