Will 3 Dot heroes reach 200k LTD?

Worldwide? For sure.

In Europe? Maybe.

I'm not so sure.... it bombed harder than almost any notable console ARPG this gen in Japan (only 16k sold according to Famitsu) and the critical response in the west has been far more tepid than Demon's Souls (and unlike that title, it's not perfectly timed to ride the slimomentum).  I think there's probably enough goodwill towards Atlus/FROM and enough PS3 owning Zelda fans to push it a bit, but 200k is still not exactly a sure thing.

Based on the pre-orders chart, 3D Dot is at 30-35k and should do around 50k first week. It will easily crawl to 200k maybe in America alone.

In their entire history, you can count the number of Atlus USA console games that sold over 200k on one hand.  I'm not saying that can't/won't happen for 3DGH, but I'm saying it's not "for sure".
