Last gen games are missing a lot of data. For Star Ocean you need to add both the regular and special edition and you are still completely missing European data, which would easily push it over 2 million. Well over triple the sales of Lost Odyssey and four times the sales of Blue Dragon for a game that most likely cost signifficantly less to make.
A good example of a recent mid-to-low range JRPG and its sales is Persona 3, which sold 370K in Japan between its 2 versions. This is perfectly acceptible for a JRPG. Below 300K is bad, below 200K is a bomb.
