Sadly, with many game companies unwilling to actually market their games that second statement is more true that I'd like to admit. None-the-less, whether or not they would make a profit if localized is irrelevant to their quality.
The fact that I can name quality titles made by Sega defies your original point (bolded for emphasis).
Using Metacritic scores as an indication of success is silly. Profitable games can get poor ratings. Were it otherwise, we wouldn't have shovelware firms.
