Depends on the price. Since its a retro style (granted its 2d retro on 3d world) it feels like an indie game that should be like $30. I'm totally down to buy this game for that kind of price. But no way I'm buying it anywhere close to $60. Does it have a price yet? If it's near $60 I say definitely under 1 million. If it's $30 I could see lifetime 1.5 - 2 million.

I really don't understand this line of thought. If the game has solid RPG mechanics (which the demo seems to suggest) and provides 20-30 hours (maybe more) of enjoyable gaming why can't it be priced $60?

Because there's plenty of fantastic JRPGs on 3DS with similar (or better) graphics that launched at $40. I'm pretty sure that the price won't effect sales much, but I do think it should be cheaper than what it is.
