Yes, there might be a dose of distruption strategy on MS' part, but you forget a whole lot of other reasons:
* MS is putting effort on having global simultaneous release of these JPRGs. It shows that they're treating JRPGs in a respectful way. That suggests they have a deeper plan than to just disrupt Sony.
* Most JRPG sales occur in the West, no matter what console.
* Many Japanese devs have expressed their interest to expand into the Western market (even more). They want a viable platform. It makes sense from both perspectives, not just for MS, to release some JRPGs for the X360.
* MS wants to build up a good reputation among Japanese devs, and gamers all over the world that it's to be taken seriously not just in this gen, but probably even more so for Xbox 3
* The need to broaden the game library. The X360 is today perceived as a hard-core/shooter platform, which is not good if you have a bigger plan.

I don't know about the line in bold. DQ sells more in the West...I'm confused.
