The way Chris1964 sounded, the game won't even chart.

I don't know, the game being good, low price, seeing some marketing materials. The last one managed double that of what you said... 20k! Yeah... Not that good, though, you're right, I should've checked. PS3 numbers are allright.

But my "acceptable" was not big... something around 30k FW - 40k LT.

Where have you got the 20k number from?  I was just going off VGChartz figures:

Which has it at 11k LTD, 4k first week.  And that was in 2009, when there were 13 million PSP's in the wild.

In any case, regardless of 11k or 20k, it was still a very low opener and just as low seller in Japan on a more successful console.  I think expecting more than double those figures on a system with less than 1 million install base is... incredibly optimistic :P

From here, great site for japanese sales

You can also search for MC top 500 threads of the year of the game you want info on neogaf. Both excellent ways of knowing japanese sales.

It was... I though by memory the game did a little better, as the first did quite alright, with 122k.
