^ That's the way marketing in general works.

It's fairly obvious at this point that the Japanese vocals sell the best because we have hundreds of them to choose from and the vast number of producers that are located in Japan. From a marketing standpoint it would therefore make sense to focus your marketting on the Japanese producers as you know they'll bring in loads of profits.

Not that i'm disagreeing with you in that because obviously that means that they're essentially shoving the other markets to the side. But ultimately if they're going to take the Western Vocaloids more seriously then there needs to be a larger producer market in the West and not just a fanbase. After all if you have a marketing budget for 2 products, you wouldn't want to waste most of that budget on the product that doesn't sell as well as the other.
