1. Sega - Give up already! You got your ass kicked out of the console market and now all you make are shitty sonic games and other sad attempts at software. The only success they've had is the Genesis (no thanks to the Sega CD or 32x). 

It would likely shock you to learn that quite a few amazing Sega franchises never leave Japan (Sakura Taisen, Initial D

 They never leave Japan for a reason. They would bomb in North America or Europe.

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.
