In Japan, the 360 isn't as embraced as either the Wii or the PS3. They're keeping up with the latest handheld consoles, and so far not much has been said about the next generation of Sony and Microsoft's consoles. The Vita is of course an option, but the 3DS offers 3D, it's made by Nintendo, and Nintendo is Japanese. Plain and simple.
