Should do upwards of 150k easily. A 2.36 million userbase on a platform that hasn't got a SINGLE JRPG of notable quality.

This should be a shoe-in.

 

This is a damn port of a poor game, people are not gonna go out of their way to get sloppy seconds.

 

HW = 8k

SW = 20k

 

 

The game is being significantly altered for release on the ps3, and it's releasing on a system starved for more traditional JRPGs (as in not SRPGs).

The 360 version sold 80k on a userbase one fourth the size of the ps3's, so it's not out of the question that this game could sell as much the first week, let alone LTD.

 

Sorry I don't share your enthusiasm dude, the game was not well received for the PS3 either according to Famitsu's review of the game and I don't expect Japanese people to go out of their way to buy a console just for a year old port, especially when they can buy pretty much the same game on a console that's half the price and with more JRPGs. I stand by my predictions but I'd be happy to eat crow.
