This happens a lot to great games without a huge name. You see Final fantasy games of questionable quality selling millions, or games attached to a well known anime selling in the hundreds of thousands, but Xenoblade or Ni no Kuni bombing due to lack of public perception. I'm sure that if Xenoblade was called Final Fantasy XIII Versus, or Ni no Kuni vas called Dragon Quest X it would have sold millions.
PS: This also happens in western countries, new franchises at the end of the generation tend to bomb, as users tend to buy well known franchises.
