Sadly, Heavenly Sword won't sell much in Japan but a much crappier game of the same genre (anything with the word musou in it) will.

Don't ask me why. Just look at God of War sales in Japan compared to Musou sales.

God of war is completely different from heavenly sword, I think it WILL increase sales and well probably sell good in japan maybe 300k. How do I know? Arent they advertising that game like krazy over there? If not, then I just think it will sell well. It just looks like a game the japanese will enjoy.

God of War is different from Heavenly Sword, this is true, but that's not the perception. Before anyone touched the demo, all anyone ever said was "Goddess of War". Another game that might point you towards its sales performance in Japan is Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Heavenly Sword's best areas will be NA and EU. Japan has ... different tastes.
