This is no big surprise and no big deal on an individual basis, but I do wonder if this means Microsoft has stopped throwing money at Japanese developers regarding domestic releases. They've devoted a LOT of money and resources over there trying to crack that market, but it seems to have been for naught. I would really love to know how much money it took to convince some of those developers and publishers to make their title a 360 exclusive, knowing without doubt that the profits on a PS3 would be exponentially higher.
Are they just done for this generation? Will they renew their efforts with the 720? Probably, though I don't know how much success they will find. The bad build quality of the early 360 models supposedly hurt the brand quite a bit, so perhaps they can fix that aspect.

Great Post!
I believe this will try even harder with nextBox, with much better hwardware since the beggining and tons os Japanese exclusives like MH,FF and even maybe a new LO or BD.
No doubt they will try harder with Kinect 2 and all that things, Xbox 1 sold 500K in Japan, 360 1.6M, thats 1.1m increase, going by that number 720 should sell ~3.5m in Japan. But even they can convince Jap that their Console is awesome and it is than history can change, not that they will beat Ninty or Sony but they can go deeper in that market and make some damage.

I know this is off-topic, but can you imagine if Microsoft bought of Monster Hunter... let's say 5?

Microsoft is full of money so they could bought the entire Japanese line up xD
