What is the reason to why SO3 was so successfull in North America? Did they market it well all of a sudden?

Anyway, I dunno what to expect from sales of SO4, honestly. Current trends are that review scores dont help niche games to sell at all. And the game still has this anime look to it that isnt very popular amongst HD users.

Good marketing and it was hyped up before release.

I don't think SO4 is what I consider niche.  Persona is niche, not Star Ocean.  I'm not saying its mainstream but its more like somewhere in between.
