Actually the majority of these sales are coming from the West.
Disgea 5 did not do very well in Japan for example, but the West is what drove that to over 100k sales.
There are some Western success stories popping up too ... NBA Playgrounds has done very well on Switch, Shovel Knight, Snipperclips is a Western developer I believe, so has Minecraft I would assume. Ultra Street Fighter 2 is another one that didn't seem to sell that great in Japan, but Capcom has shown it sold better than they expected so those other sales came from outside Japan.
I think NBA 2K and FIFA have legit shots at doing well, but we will see.
