The 360 has a number of factors going against it.
1: The original xbox. Which didn't have many Japanese games at all.
2: Hardware reliability
3: Lack of positive brand recognition
4: The changing to a more casual Japanese market. Microsoft did the hard work and got lots of jrpg's on the system. I applaud what they're trying to do. But They're stuck between a rock and a hard place. They have the hardcore games but they don't have the casual games. They need both.
