I think it needs a big Japanese game, a game from a really established series in Japan, rather than new IPs (Blue Dragon, etc.), and more advertisement.

Final Fantasy exclusive to the Xbox is the only thing that could project the 360 into the high single-digit millions over its lifetime in Japan. Microsoft could definitely afford to pay for this, unfortunately the result is far from guaranteed, so I fully understand why they will never risk the $50-100 million it would take to secure this outcome, especially when their games division is just starting to learn about the word "profit."

This is off topic, but a year ago, in America, Halo 2 was at 5.99 million copies sold. Now it is at 6.61 million.

There was only one thing they could have done but they didnt and that was to get final fantasy xiii as an exclusive.
