Surprised that no one in this topic has brought up what's generally accepted to be the *actual* reason why Xbox sells terribly in Japan - most of Xbox's major hit games are from genres popular in the West but not popular in Japan (most notably FPS games). The Xbox consoles - particularly the original and 360 - also had a dearth of the genres that sell well in Japan, such as JRPGs.

There's also the fact that console gaming in general has somewhat declined in Japan - mobile gaming is all the rage right now (hence why Nintendo made its last two consoles very tablet-esque and both they and Sony are making games for smart phones these days) and Microsoft has never had a horse in that race.
