Atlus is probably one of the most important Japanese publishers/developer studios. This could come to a bidding war.

No game of them sold more than 1 million. I think we overestimate the importance of Atlus. They seem to be consistent profitable though, that is a feat not every dev is able to do.

The Shin Megami Tensei series is the third main RPG series of Japan . They are quite important there even if they never broke the Million mark.

Which ones are less important than SMT: Final fantasy, Dragon Quest, Pokemon, Monster Hunter, Kingdom Hearts and Tales of ...?

In order it would be Final Fantasy then Dragon Quest and THEN the SMT series. But it isn't about sales, It's about who is the biggest RPG franchise (The number of games released) xD. It is know as one of the three main RPG series for that. Think about it as the RPG Triforce xD
