I don't know if you know, but Capcom, Konami, Square Enix, Sega, Bandai, From Software are Japanese companies. I think that you don't like RPG, but it is impossible to not like any of the games of any of those companies since they make games for nearly every single genre. Unless you  only like 1 genre.

I think you misunderstand what i mean by Japanese games. I mean Japanese games like Anime not Japanese companies. I am a huge RPG fan, World of Warcraft, Mass Effect. The Witcher and Elder Scrolls are western based RPGs. Games like Persona dont sell well outside of Japan. Plus games like Dark Souls are designed for a world wide approach even know its made by a Japanese company.

As for your post before, 1 million consoles sales is nothing for a console. The XB1 has sold over 22million units, 1million isnt crazy. For the WiiU 1million might be considered alot. The Japanese market isnt huge, it adds little to the lifetime sales of a platform. Look at the 360, sold over 85million consoles with 1 million being in Japan. Its honestly not even worth it.

Lol, it addeded 12 Millions for the Wii 10 Millions for the PS3 last gen. Japan is still bigger than the UK (4 countries) for console gaming.

Dark Souls is sooo  focused in Worldwide appeal that it  is the kind of game that launchs for Japan before any other country, and is a success. The Japanese version of  Dark Souls (3 millions of PS4) outsold the American Xbox One's version (12 millions).

Resident Evil, Metal Gear, PES(for who like it), Tekken, Ace Combat etc Are made in Mars,  are not ?

Do you know that both Playstation and Xbox are avaliable in dozens of countries and, since the USA is = to more than 50% of Xbox, and over 30% of Playstation, every sale is important.

PS4 and Xbox One crossed the 3 Millions of units sold in the Uk after 3 years. A console, that don't appeal for the country, to sell 1 Million is very impressive. The Xbox 360 already had sold 1 million at this time in the generation.
