It's kind of sad but in Japan there is no support for the xbox but only cuz Microsoft tries to use push its weight around on Japanese companies and that tends to REALLY piss them off.

For example when Squaresoft wasn't doing so well and looked like it was going bankrupt Microsoft came in and tried taking full control of the company by buying it out. Squaresoft got really pissed and just prepared to go bankrupt instead but Sony offered them just to help...and that is now why Sony owns 1/5 of Sqaure and Square-Enix Inc refuses to put software out on the xbox.

Japanese businesses are very cautious of Microsoft cuz of their buy-out-we-own-you-now tactics.
