The sad part is it actually is sold there and it's 2 predecessors did respectable numbers. 

Thats my point. Its practically none existed in Japan. Everything would be outselling the X1 in Japan. Just like US cars dont sell well in Japan either. Thank god Japan is only a small market share.

As for the original Xbox and 360. They didnt sell well either in Japan and they turned out to be successful consoles. 

 

If i were MS ill just stop caring for the Japanese market all together and chase the bigger fish in the sea. Cant convince a culture to buy American products it just doesn't happen unless its iPhone. Im not even American and im saying this haha.

Lol, selling 1 Million+ in a country isn't good enought ? And, did you know that Japan is by far the second biggest market for consoles even with a drop every year ? It would still take some years for Germany to surpass it.  Germany already is nearly 80% Playstation. The actual Japan is, for home console) 49.% Playstation 50.9% Nintendo and 0.1% Xbox.  

Microsoft don't has any other "bigger market" than Japan to  go, They don't sell well on Europe. The biggest markets after the China, that is mainly PC, are USA  Japan, Korea, Germany, UK, France,  Spain, Canada and Italy. Only 1 north American country, and some asian countries, but majority from the Europe. Microsoft don't try to appeal for that market, Playstation always did. This is the reason why there is such difference  of market share.
