It's not loved as much as Xbox 360 , Xbox Series is having a great start yes , but Xbox Series has to many Western games and lesser Japanese games except for AAA Japanese , XBox 360 did better because it had Japanese First Party Exclusives like Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon and Decent amount of SHmups and other quarky games exclusive to Xbox 360 until Xbox Series Starts putting actually Japanese first party games and brings in few exclusive 3rd party japanese games then it'll outsell Xbox 360 , Microsoft first party is loaded with western games and Evil within feels western Microsoft needs to purchase the right Japanese 3rd party studio to truly entice Japanese crowd to beat Xbox 360 Lost Odyssey is too good Microsoft needs Something Like Atelier Ryza or someone as first party? 

Does Xbox have to have Japanese games made by Japanese game developers to do well in Japan?  The Japanese market is already flooded with Japanese games.  Sure having a few couldn't hurt, but you would think they would be interested in new western RPG's because of the lack thereof on the other platforms.  Switch does have games like the Witcher 3 and Skyrim and Kingdom's of Amalur, but they are dated and could be played on Playstation.  The way Japanese games appeal to me in the US, I would think the opposite could be true as well.  I don't think Xbox should try to be like the competition. The different type of games from what they already have access to, should be the appeal.

From my limited viewing of the Japanese market well known Wrpgs tend to have a similar sales pattern in line with other western games of similar stature, in that you often see them release at the top of the weekly chart or close to it with sales in the hundreds of K's but unlike those Japanese counterparts with similar opening sales they drop away pretty quick.
