Does a games location increase its sales in that location?

I think Resistance Fall of Man did well in the UK for that reason.

It helped it was one of the first game son the PS3 so came with the console but it was fascinating seeing the comparisons of streets I've walked down to what the developers had created in the game. I didn't buy it because it was in the UK but a nice bonus.

This said, I think the Getaway being in London with real London locations/accents/cars did help that in the UK. This helped me buy it.
