It's a success relative to last Xbox. Last Xbox often sold 250 per week. This one maintains solid 2-5k sales even in slow times. It's a night and day difference. That is how 360 surpassed Xbox 1 life sales some time ago in Japan, despite have a MUCH lower launch sales.
360 is even almost a viable console in Japan. I mean, if I recall, Gamecube often sold 10k per week. 360 is therefore averaging 25-40% of Gamecube!
All that said, it's still the difference between "horrendous" and just plain "bad" though.
Of course none of that is microsofts fault anyway, as the Japanese wont buy a foreign console for strategic reasons. But of course everybody knows that.
