It's poor marketing, they never really understood how to push the system there. First of all, unlike here where X = cool in a lot of ways, X = bad in Japan. So their system is basically the "bad-box". Who would buy that?

 yep thats the exact reason

 

@happysquirriel - actually #1 western published game is World of Warcraft but that also counts for world wide sales between it and it's expansion pack. 10.5 million copies is a large amount and jsut about that with it's exopansion pack. 

Do we actually have any Japaneese specific sales numbers?

PC gaming in Japan is a tiny market and is typically associated with hentai games of 'questionable' content ... I would expect that WoW probably had far less accounts in Japan than in Korea or China.
