Which is probably what would happen with a Microsoft hand-held.  They would have to dedicate an vast amount of resources to creating content, which I just don't see happening, never mind that Japan would ignore the device, taking away a huge market for hand-helds.

Are you really sure about that? Considering how popular handhelds are in Japan, don't you think they'll give it a try?

Well, they'd have to convince Japanese publishers to support it, who are collectively as short-sighted as they come, or they'd have to develop games which appeal to the Japanese market themselves.  Neither one is all that likely, to be honest.
