Steve Ballmer mentions push for Xbox acceptance in Europe and Japan

My, this got derailed faster than usual.

This isn't exactly new information (other than it coming from the CEO rather than from someone nestled in the Xbox division), but I expect based on recent statements that they will focus on Europe most particularly. Not that they're giving up in Japan, mind you, just that they have a shot to take a significant part of the European market now, while Japan is still years and millions of dollars of investment away from being truly meaningful.
