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

None of those are very big titles and all are not very popular genres. Third person shooters never all that big, and despite that, none of them bombed completely. Especially considering that most of these didn't sell all that well in other territories. Deux Ex only did 400k in America....

 

I am OUTLAWING long quote trees from this point on in the thread - Kresnik.

(But seriously, try to keep them in check guys)
