Thanks I'm still trying to get the hang of trying to search for these games sales haha. Looking at those sales Mistwalker is less popular than I thought they were. I also need to keep in mind Nintendo seems to be pushing this game more than other JRPG's and Wii has a big userbase. I expect the game to have a great word of mouth and the online in the game should help the word of mouth. 1st Week sales should be around 210K. Lifetime sales around 700K |
Don't forget that those games were released on the X360, and Blue Dragon still managed to sell very well in its first week with a very low userbase in Japan.
Blue Dragon = 83k (userbase = 230k)

Ironically, the Blue Dragon games on the DS flopped hard in Japan.
