Almost certainly impossible. The 360s and the clearance of the existing 360 model did nothing there. Seems pretty clear now the short spike (only to around 17K) was for having a Monster Hunter title on the platform.
There is no way MS could conjure a title so attractive given the lack of interest in the 360s that it would overpower the Wii or PS3 locally.
The only chance I can see, and I think it's very, very slim chance at that, is Kinect, but the general feeling I get is that the market has already decided that Kinect needs to much space, etc. to work well for most Japanese.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
