Not really when you have to have localization, corporate staff, advertising, legal expenses, etc/infinity.
If they can't even get to 100k lifetime in Japan, there's no way they cover the expenses of launching there.

Even though it will not sell a lot there its still not a lost cause because besides mainland China (where it will launch later this month and is made) its the cheapest place to ship it to that actually somewhat cares about home consoles. It will probably eventually launch in South Korea also but they care even less about home consoles then China and Japan (PC country).

Besides mainland China its the cheapest place to ship it to that actually somewhat cares about home cosoles. Even if they end up loosing some money there I doubt it will be a lot due to the very low shipping costs.

Exactly the only place cheaper to ship it to is mainland China I doubt other costs besides shipping are that high and even if they loose some money there its still better then sitting out a generation.
I don't think they should have. Japan seems to be leaning away from consoles, plus PlayStation and Nintendo have such a strong grip on the market.
