The Japanese are too nationalistic to buy anything not made in Japan. They threw a fit when they found out that most chopsticks are made in the US, but hey... we have a lot more trees. 
So the answer is, it will have some impact (some Japanese have purchased the 360 after all), but it will take a generation or two of Japanese to get over the "not built here" syndrome to the point where any American product can really compete.
