Or the other way around. Sega used to actually release niche games in the west. Now they don't.

Tales of Xillia came out with like 75 millionsh install base and only sold 1 millionsh and maybe it will do 2 million lifetime if they are lucky... Putting the time and effort to localize a game onto the Vita wouldn't be worth it at all |
It doesn't make sense? They're still making money. Hell. They made enough money just on preorders to announce Xillia 2 and Symphonia Chronicles.
The Atelier games are fairly text heavy with a lot of audio. Maybe not as much audio as there is on the Tales games, but not too far off. Marginal difference at best to where the Tales games probably cost almost the same to localize as the Atelier games do. Every Tales game sells better and sometimes way way way better than the Atelier games yet each and every Atelier game is released to the west.
If Disgaea 3 sales are anything to go by, a port, then the Tales games for the Vita will sell more than 100,000.
