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.

Because they only had 4 exclusives over a span of 2.5 years. You need far more than that, especially when every title is a JRPG which means the success will not be sustained. They needed to get a series that would have sustained success and good legs to not repeat that dead cycle.

I still don't think you can see the progress 360 made over Xbox and call it a waste.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
