I thought that in Japan, the Persona series was pretty big?

It's not as big as Dragon Quest of Monster Hunter, but it's bigger than the Tales...Series, and you'd expect a new game in the series to sell around 200-300k FW, if not more.

What what what?!?
There's no way the Persona series is bigger than the Tales series...
Persona isn't that big in Japan.

Sales suggest otherwise. Looking at LT sales for the main 4 Persona games in Japan, they have an average of around 350k, not including remakes.
Tales of games LT sales are around 350k also, but there's much more up-and-down than Persona, and the real heavy-hitters came back in the PS days, with only Xilla breaking this trend.
I'd say if a brand new Tales games, and a brand new Persona game were to be released on the 3DS/Vita, both would acheive very similar sales numbers. So calling Persona 'obscure' is well off the mark. Certainly a remake of a Persona game is bigger than a remake of a Tales game, even if the main series isn't as popular overall (though it is gaining traction).
