Wasn't Koei's goal to sell 1m?

No, many mistake that statement. the guy who said it would love to see 1mil sold, i doubt the real expectations would be a mil.

Thank you, some sense here finally. 

 

Any game selling 3 mil is considered good and deserves a sequel. Below that and the game is probably losing money or not worth developing from t he publisher's stand point. Though, Japanese devs usually have smaller budgets and teams, so the bar is probably lower for Hyrule Warriors. I'd think they need to sell 1.5mil to be consider successful. 

I dont think DW games are high budget at all, only one game last gen sold over a million (One Piece PW) and they make quite alot of them. I remember hearing Fire Emblem on wiiu would need 700k sold to be profitable. Every game is definitely different, but i couldn't tell you how much for every!
