I'm not an expert on this, but the last time I looked at e-book stores in Japan, it appeared to me that XMDF was by far the dominant format there - much more dominant than any single format is in the English-speaking world.

So to them, it's not such an oddball format. They probably think about like we would think of an American or European company entering Japan with products that use ePub.
