Japan only matters for games that appeal to the western audience.
For example, MS doesn't really need FInal Fantasy *BUT* it does need Resident Evil. Resident Evil is a huge seeller and MS even teamed up to bring a exclusive red elite console with RE5.
Is having Final Fantasy 13 and Lost Odyssey nice? Yes, but overall sales wise it doesn't matter much. The majority of the 360 owners buy FPS and/or just into the 360 via Kinect.
Top Japanese sellers (correct me if im wrong please)
#28 Resident Evil 5 2.99 Million
#59 Dead Rising 1 2.11 Million
#70 Final Fantasy XIII 1.79 Million
#88 Soul Calibur IV 1.47 Million
#98 Devil May Cry 4 1.28 Million
It's just that simple.
