Microsoft has also seen the Japanese gaming community show interest in their video game console by securing a few Japanese Role Playing Game Exclusives such as Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, Star Ocean: The Last Hope and timed exclusive The Last Remnant.

Microsoft’s direct competitor, the Sony’s PlayStation 3 has seen its sales in Japan pass 3 million units. Both the PS3 and the 360 have been easily outsold by Nintendo’s Wii, which is just shy of 8 million units sold in Japan.
