I disagree with the idea that Xbox should drop Japan. It's too important a region in terms of publishers and developers. No reason to lose even more support, not when the cost of shipping a few Xbox over is a drop in the ocean for Microsoft. Keeping a presence there is worthwhile.
If anything, I give them credit for that. It wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft spends more effort communicating with Japanese developers and publishers than Nintendo does with western developers and publishers. Trying at least has a chance of paying off eventually.
