You know MS has clout when it likely costs way more to have an Xbox division in Japan than the revenue they get back for the games and consoles. Most companies would have taken the hint a long time ago.

I don't think they invest any money in Japanese market right now. So you should only count what they lost when they shipped the consoles. As someone mentioned above it doesn't seem that they sold initial consoles shipped which is ~100k

It costs money to maintain XBL for that market and run custumer service and what have you. Plus they have a board and various staff to run thngs just like any other market a game division branches out to. Oh sure it may not be very busy, but MS actually pays people for these positions. Likely adding up more over any customers they hope to get.
