A pretty damn impressive accomplishment considering they are coming off a predecessor that sold a measly 23 million and the entire Japanese market still refuses to buy their product.

Its the same beast as the PS3 just different exclusives. They set themselves to do the exact same thing. In the western world one small difference can mean a whole lot. In Japan, it needs to have a big difference to break brand loyalty. Thats why Japan refuses to buy it.

think it obvious why xbox does not sell well in japan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nfDwPNTXb8&feature=relmfu

Bobby Kotick is an idiot. Japan buys American products, just products  that are superior to theirs or things they dont have. Apple, Starbucks, McDonalds, etc are big over there. Microsofts efforts in Japan are no better than Sonys efforts in the west. Then again, Sonys efforts to get western attention have been better and are focused on highly in their first party. Microsoft has always paid other people to do that work for them. Unless they can innovate they dont have a chance. They haven't so until they choose to, they know what to do. Besides, they've proven they dont need Japan, all they need are two blockbuster shooters to outsell the competition in America (wait, thats probably one of the major reasons they are having a hard time in Japan).
