The sales of franchises like Final Fantasy and Resident Evil show that Japanese developers have found much more success in the West than Western devs have found in Japan. I can't think of a single Western franchise that has managed more than 500k in sales in Japan since Crash Bandicoot for the original PlayStation. The only one that has come close was Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which achieved 410k (which also goes against the idea that the Japanese don't enjoy the occasional bit of Mindless violence).

I wonder why it sold so well?

It could have had something to do with it being a quality title and having decent advertising.
