Is there a real reason why they released in Japan? Not sure if by now they realize it's a lost cause.

That would be like saying they shouldn´t release in Sweden because sales will be low. Ofcourse they should even if they only have few fans there.

But marketing costs must be a lot higher due to the much much bigger population.

doesn't matter.   ms has billions of dollars.
