I've read the first couple responses, and I've already seen people state this, but I thought it could use re-emphasis.
To sell one million copies, this game would need to sell 106 percent of the current userbase. Most games shine if they hit 15 percent.
Or put differently, the previous versions of the Hot Shots series sold to 5-8 percent of the userbase in Japan. That would currently mean 47,000 to 75,200 copies of this game sold.
Now, those estimates are probably low for a variety of reasons (Which would require their own thread), but not so low that a number above 250,000 units is likely or even plausible.
Edit: Also, this is yet another game with lense bloom, to go along with Haze and several others. It's like the second coming of Turok-esque fog.
