right now if we go by vgchartz and if their accuarate the xbox 360 is at 1.4 million which equals to one million and four hundred thousands its nearly almost tripled the orignal xbox1 ltd sales that were only 500,000 so what i am wondering how long will it take microsoft japan to reach 2 million or 2.5 million that be 4 or 5 times larger marketshare for the 360 them the original xbox

Probably will take it 1.5 - 2 years from now, if that.  

Personally I think Microsoft should all but give up on Japan.  Don't pull out of the country but don't spend tons of cash (advertising) trying to win people over either.  Try and keep the JRPG's coming but don't spend insane amounts of money on them either.  (This coming from a former JRPG diehard).  Not really much Microsoft can do now that they haven't already tried. 

IMHO JRPG's aren't what they used to be and I feel like Microsoft could spend their money in territories they still have a chance of success in.

MS' biggest problem is consistency, when a big title comes out the sales for 360 in japan get a  boost, but thats maybe 2 or 3 times a year, they need to have a good to major exclusive coming out atleast every 1 - 2 months.

MS' Second problem is quality control, most of the exclusives MS gets for Japan are garbage, just absolute rubbish, they need to stop giving mediocre studios like Tri-Ace, AQ, and From Software money to make games. They should also utilize the good japanese devs in the proper way, for example MS should have spent money on making Children of Eden exclusive, instead making a new N3. Inis should be making an elite beat clone for Kinect alongside Lips.

MS' third problem is perception, a lot of people have "I'll wait till it comes out on..." mentallity, so MS needs to have their own big named exclusives for Japan, so they need to create/purchase Japanese studios.

A few they should/could purchase

Valhalla

Arc System works

Game Republic

Inis

Being double or triple of something mediocre doesn't make you look incredibly good. You're just less mediocre.

X360 sales on Japan are a joke, Microsoft should quit that market and focus on the USA and EEMEA for better support for this crowd.

I don't think it will ever get to 2.5 million consoles sold in Japan, but it will probably reach 2 million in about 3-4 years.

MS have done well, quitting would be disastrous for relations with Japanese developers. The more units they sell, the more it helps them for the next generation. Its still selling at a decent rate and has a great attach ratio for software, if it sells enough, multiplat sales could rise along and they can position it as a poor mans PS3.

Most importantly, theyve improved their image, so again, next gen they can start fresh with a good batch of titles.

lol, thanks, I never knew 1.4 million equalled 1 million 400 thousand

As far what it will get to, think it will make it to about 2 million in 4 years, it won't hit 2.5, which is equal to 2 million  and 500 thousand

so will microsoft get to two million by fall 2011 and i said 2.5 millin because if they have the 360 out for ten years like microsoft says

At least 2 million by end of generation maybe 3. Even though these are weak overall sales they are a large improvement from the previous generation so they certainly should not give up on Japan.
