Probably not to the levels they expect but if Tsuburaya is happy with Ultraman's numbers I bet Toei will be with Kamen Rider's too if they temper their expectations. They have spent years now bringing over random DX Sentai mechs, Rider Figurise Standard figures, P-Bandai stuff (My local Gamestops actually have a Blay Rouzer and Garren Rouzers on top of DX Shinken-Oh), and most comic shops or card shops tend to stock some Sentai, Rider, and Ultraman Figuarts on top of Shin Kamen Rider airing in regular AMC theaters. It was surreal going to my local theater and seeing Shin on the big screen subbed.
I'm also starting to get Japanese roleplaying toy ads for Ultraman Omega in the US despite not following any Tokusatsu-related stuff on Twitter and me not even being able to buy it without importing showing they're actively pushing on the western market on Tsuburaya's end to some degree.
Tokusatsu in general seems to be getting bigger in the west.

I think there's an MMR system in place in addition to platform segregation because over Christmas (Or whatever the Godzilla event was running) my nephew was playing it so I watched him play like three matches on his phone in between talking to relatives and the kid wasn't even able to really focus fire on anything and his opponents were as clumsy and unable to hit their targets as he was. Kid stood still firing at a target and said target actually died. Multiples of them in fact. These clearly weren't his first games either.
