Microsoft's biggest exclusives don't have allure in Japan. They don't play shooters much so Halo and Gears have little to no impact in Japan. Fable is a western RPG and those don't sell much either. So either MS buys big Japanese exclusives like Monster Hunter or a Tales game but then gamers look around and see more Japanese style games on other platforms. So either they need to spend a ton of cash and buy exclusive access to enough games that they just can't say no to.
