So type 0 is coming to xbox.  Never knew that. Is type 0 releasing ww on ps4 x1 at the samte time as Japan? 

Yeah it puts XB1's terrible performance in Japan in perspective

They might pay for a few Japanese exclusives and go for the 500k mark. Doubt it though because Japan looks way down their list of priorities right now.  

The Xbox 360 sold more in its first week in Japan more than the Xbox One in its first year. We were expecting abysmal sales, but these sales are shocking.

Regardless, there are smaller markets than Japan and consoles are still sold there. Don't discontinue it but don't support it either.

Thinking about it, 200-300k might be out of reach, which is crazy to think about. Maybe 150k is a more probable goal.

Very negative!! But from a business point of you you are right.  All their investment services with the 360 in Japan last gen have been for nothing though.  

If they don't pay big bucks for some exclusives this year you could be right 

They will strip down whatever man power they have in Japan to the bare minimum. Virtually non existent, but I don't see a point in discontinuing it, especially since they've got plenty of exclusives down the road. Just cut spending to a bare minimum.

iirc they sold around 24k on launch so they have only managed to sell another ~20k since then, which is just an incredible thought. Are we looking at perhaps ~30-40k per year here?

I don't want to call it but unless they do something drastic you could be right. They need a price cut and Japan centric exclusives. Halo 3 was big on 360 in Japan but if the mcc sales are an indicator halo 5 won't have any impact
