Jammy, you're looking at several ports, side titles, etc.. Brand name helped but were also hindered but what I mentioned.
God Hand and Okami had very little advertising or retail acquisition. Claiming the audience isn't there makes no sense when the audience obviously is there.
Also, with regards to your referenced titles, are you telling me that even a console with a 130 million userbase doesn't have the audience for those titles? I can think of several titles with similar artistic flair that did sell very well. That tells me that there is certainly more aspects to the sales rate of a game tha just the artistic presentation such as what I posted further up this page.
