Ni No Kuni did not sell well because it has purposely limited global appeal(Primary issue with Japan). It was aimed at people who like studio Ghibli work. I dont expect every Jrpg to do Final Fantasy numbers(Which is actually pretty tame compared to western games). But 100k is embarrassing. JRPG's not popular anymore do to never evolving with the times. JRPG's mainly still feel SNES, PS1 games. These problems can fixed! Things just to die. They die when one steps up to revitalize them. No one revitalized JRPG genre this gen.

What's wrong with only selling 100k if they manage to make a profit?

Because it means you made a dirt cheap. That's all. In order for Japan to return to form they collectively need popular franchise that have global appeal. Does 100k sound like its popular?
