and forget those TV stuffs, just focus on games, especially those JRPG (old or new IP).

Yeah, because it really helped them before.

The X360, for the first 3-4 years, had much more Japanese and niche games than the PS3 and Wii combined. It didn't help it one bit. It won't change now.

He has his job cut out for him, to say the least.

It did. Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Tales of Vesperia, and Star Ocean 4 all pushed a lot of HW for the 360 (especially considering how unfeasible it was to imagine the 360 selling 20k+!).

Once MS stopped paying for those timed exclusives, the 360 stopped have any meaningful boosts.

Thing is..

Exclusive out, boost, dead

Exclusive out, boost, dead

No significant permanent increase, no point in throwing money at it.
