Asia is a big market of over 2 billion people, if Microsoft plays their cards right then they could be pretty succesfull their. I recently took a trip to India last summer, about 95% of India thinks its Sega Genesis vs PSone. The odd thing is the Genesis is popular their since they are alot of games being made for it their, and a pretty much every PSone game you find their is gonna be a fake which won't work on a normal PSone!
