Yes they will. Compared to the original Xbox the Xbox 360 did gangbusters in Japan. MS also knows that they need Japanese games on their system to compete in the rest of the world too. I expect MS to put as much or more effort into Japan as they did this gen and we will see the Xbox brand continue to grow there. The Japanese are slowly starting to adopt foreign tech so MS needs to keep pushing until the Japanese finally get what the rest of us already know. Halo kicks ass.


How could it be growing when it was selling better 3-4 years ago?

So a brand is only growing if it sells more units each year?  Bizarre way to look at it.

It is a growing brand because last gen they sold 0.53m consoles and this gen thay have so far sold 1.63m.  Pretty sure thats growth.

xbox hasn't grown in japan since 2008-2009

Infact most of it's sales came from it's early years, proving it's declining

WTF? 

NEGATIVE SALES!!!!

I dont know why you get involved in sales dicsussions, you come out with some bizarre statements.

But I'll play along.   let me see, there were 1m 360's in Japan mid 2009, now there are 1.6m.  So they added 60% to their install base... decline?

In any event you seem to be unable to seperate "console" from "brand" in your brain. 

The xbox brand is now bigger than it has ever been EVERYWHERE on the globe including Japan.

 

You are quite full off it, you spend to much time looking at past sales instead of recent sales.

Plus what i said was right, the 360 did better in japan in it's early years, plus you interpreted the word decline wrong, if you actually read my post hard enough you would realise, that i meant the sales was declining which it is.
