MS will "lose face" in Japan if they cut prices (loss of face is a VERY big deal to the Japanese). A price cut this early would be the kiss of death for the Xbox in Japan. Somthing MS could do as an alternative, is offer the Japanese market an exclusive game at a cut price (Karaoke, or dating sim, etc), which would be an acceptable means of lowering overall cost of Xbox ownership in Japan, but MS would not have to stoop to admiting that there was anything wrong with the original pricing structure.
