Are they trying to appeal to Japan?

If they were they would probably make a deal with a japanese company (like panasonic), not a korean one :P.

But Korean products appeal to the Japanese market, unlike American ones. I can imagine Samsung being a huge part of Japan's electronics section. It could be a reason imo 

True but many American product does appeal to the Japanese market too. I dont think that the problem with the 360 in Japan is that its American. If they would associate with a Japanese company this would surely help their image, but with a Korean one I dont think it changes anything.

That's true and false. I think the fact that it's physically American, doesn't matter one jot, but the fact, it is an American console in terms of flavour ... must be offputting for the Japanese.
