Like I said, recent games looked pretty grim

Well they were equally grim in other markets as well lol

In the US:

Ratchet & Clank - 112k
Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando - 125k
Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal - 207.5k
Ratchet: Deadlocked - 55.3k
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction - 74.5k
Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time > Tools of Destruction
Ratchet & Clank : All 4 One < Tools of Destruction
Ratchet & Clank : Full Frontal Assault < Tools of Destruction
Ratchet & Clank : Into the Nexus < Tools of Destruction

And the remake did between 207.5k (highest selling Ratchet game) and 237k.

Japan usually responds well to nostalgia so there's certainly potential there.
