Oh yes I almost forgot the Sakaguchi issue... I f this guy is to blame, it's for releasing The Last Story on Wii! Honestly did he do a proper market analysis before this? PS3 RPG sales per system sold is way higher on PS3 than on Wii! However ambitious the Last Story might be, releasing it on Wii makes it not ambitious at all.

The Last Story is a 1st party game. If it wasn't on Wii, it likely wouldn't exist.

Maybe Gooch looked at overall software sales and noticed Wii games can actually pass multiple millions? That's what the mainstream does for you, that's mainly why Wii got Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest. I hope for the best with The Last Story, but I doubt it's the sort of game that would pass 500k on any system... being on PS3 wouldn't have helped. At least on Wii it's been paid for by Nintendo.

Lost Odyessy made it past 500k and that was on the 360 a system that is tanking in Japan. Last story will make it past 500k easily if advertised properly

I was talking about just Japan, sorry if that wasn't clear. Lost Odyssey sold about 100k in Japan, Blue Dragon did about 200k, I expect Last Story to do between 200-300k.
