Japan is important, but what people have denied is whether CRITICAL for your console to succeed in Japan. 360 proved that it is not- Japan nearly ignored it, and it's still going to be a much bigger success than the PS3*.
*Before a bunch of people jump on me for this statement - success is about making money, and while the PS3's best case scenario for it's entire run is breaking even, the 360 is a very profitable venture.

No, it's not.
With home consoles, success is about getting that console in as many homes as possible.
The making money part only matters if you're an investor.

The front page of vgchartz still indicates that 360 is winning over PS3. MS can price drop whenever they want when the gap gets too close. Its been 4 years and they are still confident enough to let those 2008 prices ride. Think about that.
Corporations measure success via profit. Sorry if the rules of corporate business doesnt suit a civilian fan such as yourself. But if we compromise, if success is profit AND total sales as you claim, then Sony is still losing on both counts.
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
