Could Japan sales numbers decide what games Nintendo develop?

Skyward Sword sold 370k and we are getting a new Zelda, Hyrule Warriors sold 130k and is getting a port, Xenoblade sold 160k and is getting a sequel. So, my point is that Japan sales are not the final say. 

Yes - testing and refineing my hypothesis. It is probably not an absolute rule but I will explore it and return when I think I have more "proof".

I think it's just simple for Nintendo. Good sales + Can add new things, most of the time.
