Is there a real reason why they released in Japan? Not sure if by now they realize it's a lost cause.

That would be like saying they shouldn´t release in Sweden because sales will be low. Ofcourse they should even if they only have few fans there.

That doesn't make sense. If your product is going to lose money in a region, why would you waste money putting it there? I also don't really get the point of the analogy.
