Not much of an achievement, really.

@YearoftheSnake5: true but it shows Nintendo still have a strong base. It looks really bad for microsoft tho. If the 360 did so poorly idk whats in it for XB1

@btroof: you're being biased on purpose. It's a pretty well known fact that Xbox has never done well in Japan-- their market is completely in the West. And this is coming from someone who hates Xbox.

It's not really much of a feat though, considering that while it may have only sold a million in Japan, it's sold like 80 million more worldwide

@jcrame10: I didnt' know they sold that bad there but i guess it didn't matter for them.

As @jcrame10 pointed out, Microsoft has never done well in Japan. Why that is, I'm not totally sure. I haven't really looked into it. Outselling the 360 in Japan is like outselling the NGage. You would literally have to try to do worse. This is more of a SW topic, honestly. It might get locked.
