Not always. in the corporate business VG company world, Bad sales = people don't want more of this. they don't think in terms of quality, not always. they thing sales = demand. Very black and white like.
The beauty of LoS being by a Western developer and not japan however, and with the way japan is, is that bad sales can simply be blamed on the western developer "not getting it" or some other thing. So they might try in house for the next project. now if THAT didn't sell, then i'd worry.
