I think people are being harsh on Castlevania sales, it's not a megaselling series and the genre it's in doesn't have many big sellers. All thing said and done it'll probably settle around just above a million. Hard to call but considering Bayonetta, Darksiders, Dantes Inferno etc all stopped around 1.4m it's not like Konami could have been gunning for 2 million sales. I hope lol. We'll see a sequel i reckon, mainly because it's still going to sell more then pretty much everything else Konami do outside of MGS.
Enslaved really has bombed though, Namco just didn't market the thing at all. No one knew what it was and it was launching against alot of established IP's, Ninja Theory have alot of talent but they need to make something more marketable then Enslaved was. I reckon DMC will do okay for them though.
Also with regards to Heavenly Sword, it sold the bulk of it's 1.3m sales at a slashed price in the bargain bucket, so not much money was really left by then to go back to Ninja Theory.
