I believe in the US, Xbox 360 was the winner of its gen, which is really saying something. If you can beat the Wii and Sony and claim the top spot in that territory, wow. But it also shows you just how US-centric that brand has always been. In Japan, it's a distant memory the moment it launches. In the EU, same thing. I think it's strong in the UK, but still behind the others. So for anyone to be disparaging them for their Japanese performance, I don't think they're looking at it correctly. As much as Microsoft would love to be the top dog everywhere, they just aren't, and never will be. Their turf is the US, and to a lesser extent, the EU. Japan is an afterthought. Mostly because it's a lost cause.
