Sony are in real trouble in Japan with the Vita. While some games here will provide nice boosts (SRW, PSO2, P4) there is no megaton here. No final fantasy, no monster hunter, no price drop, no new colours, no new bundles etc etc. PSO2 could possibly be a million seller long term if absolutely everything went right for it however it's still a LONG way out (end of year possibly).

It is genuinely looking like apart from a small burst when P4 comes out in 3months time that the Vita is going to be around or below the 10k mark for over half a year. If so it is going to utterly destroy developers confidence in the platform. At E3 Sony need to come out in total support of the Vita with everything they have.

even if everything goes right, PSO2 will not be a million seller. It's an online MMORPG. You might have mixed it up with PSP2 or PSV.

It most likely won't reach a million but I think if literally every single thing lined up it possibly could over it's entire lifetime. What I mean by this is as well as being an MMO it maintains the ability from the original game to play off line or even better allows people to play offline but as a group if nearby. That would effectively make it both Phantasy Star Portable and Phantasy star online. I remember in PSO you could play online, offline or offline split screen. So if PSO2 managed to do all 3 it would be in good standing. 

Then it would need a special bundle with a custom PSP etc etc.

Realistically though it will most likely struggle to even reach PSP or PSP2's sales.
