Speaking of Atlus, Persona 3 was also a surprise hit in America

 

Both the original version and FES edition sold more in America than Japan

Would Persona 4 count as well?  Considering that it was released when many massively hyped games were coming out, it sold quite well.

The thing is that Persona series shows to already have a consolidated fan base in US. I'm one of them, there are three franchises that are system seller to me, MGS, FF and Persona.
