the japanese numbers on VGchartz are wrong and you forgot to include FT4

it probably has sold over a million now. The Deception Series was a commecial failure but that hasnt stopped KoeiTecmo from making a new game in 2014 and localizing it digitally and physicley and making an expansion this year. KoeiTecmo games are nothing but commercial smaller titles.

Just because it sells less doesnt stop them from devoloping because those games never had a high budget

Even for Japanese standards those numbers are pretty low. No single game ever reached 80k. Sales in the West probably had more depressing numbers.

Not launching the series in the West after the third game was simply a financial matter: the sales projection wouldn´t match the investiment required in their localizations

This just isn't true. Tecmo localizes things with far less apeal and market than Fatal Frame. They release them in all regions, with physical/digital versions, and dual audio.
