I think MS just wants a presence in Japan, period.

They want Japanese support so they release their machine wherever developers are.

I suspect at this point it'll be because there are still a number of Japanese developers who can appeal to the western market, and they want to appease those as much as they possibly can.

I don't understand the logic here.

MS will buy a few Japanese games to move some hardware. I fail to see how that's going to kill the home console industry in Japan. It surely didn't happen last gen.

it actually did.

dev's made less money than expected and made them move to handhelds.

Yeah, that makes no sense.

Japanese developers are putting a focus on handheld devices simply because that's is where Japanese gamers are.
