Unfortunately that wouldn't work either. The X1 suffers from too many things that don't appeal to the market there. Online competitive gaming is also far FAR less popular in JP. They prefer single player games and of course the RPGs. Another issue is the gigantic size of the console + power brick + kinect (if someone wants it). Japanese players typically have smaller areas for their gaming setups, so they appreciate elegant designs.
