The Tales series is quite prominent in Japan. I'm thinking it will do better then any RPGs before. If any game will move hardware over there, its gonna be this game.

That said, I'd say 80k-150k. Really this is a tough call.

No way. This won't come close to Blue Dragon.

The will have 85k first week. Hardware will get to 11k. Lifetime is 150k.

RPGs don't have legs anywhere, and 360 games don't have legs either.

But Tales isn't that popular. The last one to pass 500k was Tales of the Abyss. None in the series have passed a million in Japan.

Tales doesn't have the sales numbers of Final Fantasy but among hardcore JRPG fans, the series is very popular.  But a Tales game never passing the a million mark in Japan kinda suprised me since I thought Japan loved JRPGs.
