Cool, that's reasonable. As huge boost I was expecting you to say perhaps double its sales or 50% more. 5 - 10% makes a lot more sense. 500k sounds reasonable for LT sales, and seeing how DQ is very frontloaded, it could come close to that in its first month. But remember not always spin-offs fare well, look what happened to FFCC:CB.

DragonQuest spinoffs tend to fare better than FF spinoffs. Remember that Crystal Bearers outsold Chobobo's Dungeon on the Wii. Plus simply having a big franchise as the name does not sell a game. Chinatown Wars is more proof of that.

CB is basically one of those games Squaresoft made in the PS1 years. Those never sold big either.

I was talking about brand popularity mostly. My point is that not because the game is part of a big franchise it will obligatorily sell well and move hardware. For example the Pokemon spin-offs on the Wii performed rather poorly in comparison to the main games. I don't think this time a port of a spin-off wll set the charts on fire or move lots of HW. It will be just another decent release, in the vein of RE:DSC or PokePark Wii.
