From my experience, living in Japan, the Japanese will buy anything, anywhere, anytime. You show them pretty pictures, they BUY. Even a cruddy game sells like hotcakes over here. As long as its from Square or has panty shots, it will be off the shelf in 15 minutes.
This is a culture where people act on 'feelings', not logic or reason. there is also very little 'saving' here. the protestant ethic just isn't a native phenomenon in this culture. thus if it has a good commercial, it will survive its moment in the sun, sell incredibly, then pop up in the used stores.
in all honesty, i'm quite certain that there will be loads of problems. if i'm wrong, feel free to yell at me. the anime otaku do it all the time.
"It can't be that way! I saw it in Evangelion!"
