I usually use these threads as an opportunity to rip into people for making stupid posts, but I'm showing mercy today because the situation is just so sad. Japan does not support NMH. You can spin these sales all you want, they ported this game to the supposed super-hardcore platforms, dolled it up and managed to get only a 3k difference per platform despite increased costs and more brand awareness (and this depends on the tracker). It did not outsell the Wii version in total and the first week sales are nothing to write home about if you're not pumped up on fanboy adrenaline.
Fact of the matter is that Japan was never key audience for this series. There's a reason we have NMH2 and they don't. All this says is that Japan is not a healthy market for NMH. You can argue up and down where it "belongs" but this has no impact on anything. Suda wasn't invlved, Grasshopper wasn't involved and a western release hasn't even been announced. If your skin is so deeply infused with irrational bias that a Wiimote burns your hands like acid upon touch, this outcome is only mildly good news to you at best: your only chances of playing any NMH game is a 2 year late port, possibly not even considered for release in your country. For everybody else, they can just buy the game at the source.
