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

Sorry, I'm a little lost. Was the question "do Western developed games do well in Japan" like I thought it was, or was it "do these Western developed games do well in Japan" like it suddenly seems to have become?

No, the idea was, that "Western developed games do bad in Japan", if you dissagree, feel free to give me examples, so we can discuss them, find some patterns, dependacies, etc.
I think they do bad in general, and I've given a few examples of games with relatively high critical acclaim, as I also stated that quality doesn't make much difference, provided also a few exceptions, for games that have done good, nothing amazing if we consider attach rates, but still good, for Western developed games. Feel free to prove me wrong.
