Look at every console that's winning in Japan. DS, PS1, PS2, Wii. Does that even need an explanation? Hardcore gamers buy game on day 1 (look at FF and MGS4 sales number), casual gamers buy stuff whenever, (look at legs of MKWii and Wiifit)
you can even argue that SMG and MP3's failure to attract attention is due to the oversized casual fanbase |
Ehh, Galaxy did okay in Japan, a little better than Sunshine if it counts for anything. Pretty low for the series though.
As for Corruption, the Japanese haven't liked Metroid since it took the change to 3D. It didn't do much worse than Metroid Prime did in Japan.
