You can also see that since Square has taken over the localization of Call of Duty in Japan, they've done well. Square will do a good job at it and do far more with marketing than previous entries (BLOPS1, 2, and MW3 have all outsold Dynasty Warriors 6 and 7, Tales of Graces f, Tales of Xillia 2, DMC4, and hundreds of Japanese centric titles).

Ok since you bring up Square as doing a good job localising and publishing in Japan. Some recent games published by SE, developed by non-japanese developers (on PS3, bringing up X360 numbers in Japan would be unfair), every single one of them hold over 80 meta on PS3, some even high-80s:

-Tomb Raider: 60k (this one is 2 months on market, we can assume it may sell a bit more lifetime)

-Sleeping Dogs: 50k

-Just Cause 2: 60k

-Deus Ex HR: 70k

-Hitman Absolution 60k
