Why Konami games don´t sell well on the 3DS?

[Rogerioandrade]

I was checking out the 3DS charts and noticed that there´s no Konami game among the 50 3ds best sellers.

So far:

PES 2011 - 340k

Dragon Ball Heroes - 250k

MGS: Snake Eater - 240k

PES 2012 -???

PES 2013 -  110k

Magician´s Quest - 170k

Frogger 3d -140k

Dr. Lautrec - 100k

Castlevania Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate - 90k

 

Let´s ignore PES 2011, which was a launch game and games released only in Japan. Unlike Capcom, Square Enix, Sega, Namco (who had some sucessfull games selling more than 500k) it seems that Konami really can´t please 3DS owners, even with solid efforts like Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania. Why is that?

it´s interesting to notice that many konami games were only launched in Japan, and they sold reasonably well in that market, but the games with worldwide releases had dissapointing sales... maybe konami really can´t please western 3ds audiences at all or don´t understand what they really want to play.
