I actually read the thread backwards. But yeah, i didnt piece together that part.
Xillia 2 didnt universally did worse though. Opening week for it was bigger in europe than the first Xillia.

Well, I think that only a production manager from Namco can consciously say how much sales of a certain product will grant a break even. Anyway, if such goal is 100K, I think that, between Europe and North America, it can be reached, even without including download sales. Perhaps not in the first week. |
Of course, that i just my educated guess at the feeback given from localisation companies such as NISA, XSEED, etc. wich usually reveal themselves happy with sales of games around 100k and Namco themselves when they revealed they were happy with western sales of the tales series with graces and xillia. They include english dubbing on their games so i presumed i was beeing extra pessimistic with my estimate as its likely that the Hearts R localisation is even cheaper cause its only text. Heck, its comparable to a fan translation.
