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.

outlawauron already provided three off the top of his head. You just brushed him off though. Did you respond to Rol's point about the DKCR specifically (and DKC generally)? I forget. Also, refresh my memory, but who developed the game on this week's list with over 780k in sales (and growing)?

In case I'm being too subtle, I'm wondering if this is an honest question, or if you're going to be one of the folks who makes a statement and then ignores all contrary evidence.

No, it was me who provided those three, as a examples off games that sold good numbers, but not really great when taken into perspective, in comparison.

Those two games are good examples, it seems Nintendo IPs have wide international appeal. 

OK so now I have a question for you, leaving that statement behind, as it was a generalisation and you proved that it's imperfect. Do you say that games of Japanese origin and games from abroad have a equal footing, an equal chance of success in Japan?
