Not at all. Dark Cloud 1 sold less than 100k lifetime in Japan.

But their last effort, Rogue Galaxy, sold over 350,000 in Japan. That'd be a better barometer, I think.

 

I agree, but at that time the PS2 had what 20 million consoles out there?

And Dark Cloud released in December of 2000 when the PS2 had 3.4 million consoles sold.

 

So, DC 1 and WKC are both new ips (at the time of release). Both released during late December, and had more similar userbases. Why couldn't Dark Cloud be used as a barometer?

WKC needs to do much better given the budget and time spent, but realistically, the two games are similar.
