Do you lot even know how the situation is like here in Europe before you post your comments, the reason why games like Pokemon and FFVII sold well in Europe even though we had never heard of them before was because they recieved a heavy marketing push games, they were practically everywhere. DQ sales increase with each game released over here because people are being made aware of the game even though VIII was the first game we got and it sold more here then in the US as did IX and we're not even that much behind the US in MH sales either. Many RPGs have struggled over here because publishers stealth release games which doesn't create enough exposure to anything not in the FF and DQ brand, not saying TLS will sell like mad as that's down to how Nintendo push the game but don't make sweeping statements that the is no audience here because that's not true the's actually a sizable audience here that's not helped by wayward releases.
If you stealth release your games don't expect big sales.
