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.

Well Xbox Series X/S crossed the half a million mark in japan according to Famitsu. When you compared to the other Xbox Consoles sold in Japan is the second best.

Xbox 360	December 10, 2005	1,616,128
Xbox Series X/S	November 10, 2020	507,539
Xbox	February 22, 2002	472,992
Xbox One	September 4, 2014	114,831

It's very difficult to compare raw numbers. How much growth has the industry seen since 2005? How many more people play games? Per inflation, how do the two consoles relate MSRP? What is the per-capita player-count? A lot would need to be analyzed.
