Haha, "Nintendo's pure skill in marketing," eh.
I'm anxious to see how well they perform. The games I'm thinking of that need the Japan -> West transition so far are MH3, DQIX / X, and Tomodachi Collection. Any more?
Not all games end up as hits, of course. Rhythm Heaven did so-so in the west, while Style Savvy did better (relative to Japan sales). I predicted MH and DQ would do well, so they better work their magic!
