300k for Japan is pretty much impossible.
Yeah Blue Dragon did 200k+ and it's a new franchise but it did get a lot of marketing there and the people there did see it as a Dragon Quest like game.
Tales of Symphonia sold 300k+ on both the GameCube and PS2, which makes the total sales 600k+ and Tales of the Abyss did almost 600k, while Tales of Vesperia has only sold 160k on the Xbox 360, and while likely get 180k LTS once it get's a budget re-release.
In the west the J-RPG fanbase is devided between the three consoles and there are a lot of J-RPG/ Star Ocean fans who will never buy a Xbox 360 simply becuase they are PS fanboy's who hate the Xbox 360. Yes, it's stupid, but that's the way it is. Anime-style J-RPG's also don't sell as good as they did a couple of years ago, even on the PS2.
