Its better to try and fail rather than not try at all, and it perplexes me that money spent on timed exclusivity is seen as vital but money spent on enticing one of the largest markets is considered "A waste". Especially, when Microsoft has more money then its competitors

It would be a waste because there would be little reward.

What could MS possibly hope to accomplish in Japan? 1 or maybe 2 million units sold?

Instead spend that money on the west and try to achieve 80 million units sold again. Its not like the 360 needed Japan to achieve that.

If its a good console, brand preferences are irrelevant. 

Even 2 Million is substantial because its a lot more important to be an international brand then an American Brand, the US, which has no brand loyalty, is not a good place to put all of your eggs so to speak.

And 80 Million is extremely optomistic, with the market shrinking as a whole and most of the 360 advatanges lost, not to mention, rebuying of consoles frankly not happening in this gen probably. We're talking 50 million tops, best case scenario WW. And even that is optomistic.

All I'm saying is, if this is a marathon, not a sprint. 

and If they are even bothering to Launch officially in Japan anyway, they might as well go all out.
