The thing is is that Grand Theft Auto V is very western. Donkey Kong Country and Crash Bandicoot were platformers, and platformers were popular in Japan. (Ratchet and Clank was even bundled with the PS2, and Knack - a Japanese game - was bundled with the PS4).
GTAV on the other hand is as western as you get, so for it to be a hit there is amazing. I think many Japanese gamers like the action adventure element of the games.
