For Sony this is a pay off.

It's the reward for taking every single region seriously and putting plenty of effort in many markets.

China is probably the only exception though.


Huh?  MS has put oodles of effort in Japan (for example) and it didn't make a difference.  It's not like MS isn't trying, but eventually you have to go with your strenghts. 

Japan isn't a good example imo.

 

The fact that MS launched the console over there after several months doesn't sound like oodles of effort to me, neither is securing a few VNs for X1 as exclusives, especially if you account what they did for the 360 in Japan.

 

The current state of consoles should be enough for Japan to not even be considered by you in your argument in the first place.

You see all the money they poured into Japan with the 360.  It's not worth it and you just answered your own question by saying Japan is no longer a major market for consoles anyways.
