Japan doesn't take too kindly to showing their WW2 allies in a negative light. Most of their media influenced by WW2 Germany portrays them as neutral or sometimes even a positive light. From anime classics like Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Mobile Suit Gundam to more recent light novels like Tanya the Saga of Evil the forces representing Germany are power-hungry but never shown parallel atrocities to the Nazis. Wolfenstein goes against their revisionist WW2 history. Also shooters aren't that big other than Call of Duty.

Well, no. I saw plenty of adverts for the game, both in stores and in various websites. People knew this game was being released. That said, I knew that some European versions were going to remove swastikas and other Nazi emblems from the main campaign, but I was surprised to see, that these were also absent from the Japanese version, so you might be on to something. Still, being outsold by Ark is offensive.
