I'm not saying that it will hit a million (although I don't use sales as a scale of success), but it will be fine.

I'm expecting 500-700k within it's first full year.

and you consider that a commercial success?

For the kind of game it is yes. BTW I'm also being kinda conservative on my numbers.

your definition of commercial success is flawed, if that is considered succesfull for the series, nobody will produce  such games. 

500k may be a flop, but with 700k I'm sure the game will turn a small profit.

Considering how much was invested in Heavy Rain at least 2 million should be considered a slight success.
