I disagree. In the West, or at least in North America, you have a large number of anime loving, game playing, Japan fans like us. Western Otakus, if you will. Our numbers are strong, and we can make even a game like Valkyria Chronicles sell somewhat decently (and it's still selling!). In Japan, you don't have a fringe group of Western gamers that'll eat up games like Call of Duty. Heavily advertised Western games sell poorly, and games that aren't advertised are destined to not even reach 10k.
