Main series was born on SNES: home consoles. So they sell best there.
Tales of the World started with the Phantasia spinoff for GBC and became a full blown fanservice subseries on the GBA.
Basically what I'm saying is that one hasn't found much success on handhelds while the other has always thrived there. Hearts was Namco's 3rd attempt to push a handheld mothership title and it still seems to be selling the same (albeit better than its DS predecessors). There's some barrier they're not breaking with the fanbase about handheld mothership titles.
Radiant Mythology 2 is the latest in a long line of fanservice games, the way it's made is pretty ingenius actually. The Destiny fanatics (check out the Destiny games sales in the database) may not be interested in Hearts but they'll flock to ToW because Stahn, Leon and company are part of the game.
It's like why Dissidia outsold Crisis Core. CC appeals to the fans of a particular FF but Dissidia is based around most of the numbered games and is attracting even lapsed FF fans who abhor anything post-FFVI.
