Dose of irony: Where did I say you said it.
Then why did you bring it up?
Japanese developers don't care how well it does in the Japanese market, just in their target game market. If they're going to make a game that will sell well in North America, it doesn't matter if the console doesn't exist in Japan...
You really don't know anything about Japanese culture or the motives of Japanese game developers. They do care how well a console does in the Japanese market and they are reluctant to make games that will not sell in Japan. That is why developers like Sega and producers like Hideo Kojima are viewed as mavericks in the Japanese development community; they make games targeted solely at the Western audience. Most Japanese developers don't and frown upon such behavior.
