Wasn't the 360 the first console of that gen to have a Monster Hunter?
Really, if things like that and the Mystwalker exclusives(which I'm sure were tremendously costly for Microsoft to afford) couldn't do it for them with a significantly cheaper console for more or less the same power with a whole year release lead (in fact, the 360 launched in Japan before it even did in the US or Europe), I don't think selling considerably weaker hardware for likely significantly more and no release lead will.
In fact, all the talk about this delayed release in Japan, or the idea it may not even launch in Japan points to very real possibility that their hopes and aggression level for the reason is tempered way down.
