I have read somewhere that Falcom was targeting 500k sales with Sen no Kiseki in PS3 and Vita. As the things go, they will be lucky if it reaches ~200k level of Ao no Kiseki.


Do you have a source for that?  

Falcom have been turning a profit pretty much every year since they were founded, I believe.

Seems pretty extreme that they'd have such high expectations for this game.  I'm sure it'll be very good, but they must know that the LoH series isn't exactly a massive seller.  

132k for Ao no Kiseki FW was an achievement, and they should continue to build on that, but I think they're shooting far too high; far too soon.



Boom! Puzzle & Dragons Z up for pre-orders on Amazon now.
Let's see how long it'll take it to come here as GungHo expects 1m.

Like what? Right now all I can see is X, Smash Bros, and Mario Kart. Maybe Bayonetta, but nothing in 2013....

Maybe, I actually mention that 1 title, but when Kresnik quoted me, he edited it out.

Wait......Wii Sports Club has been announced for digital release this fall.....Wii U could be saved!

Sorry for not being more specific, but this document says that they aim to get double awards at Playstation Awards 2013, which means User Choice Awards, and Gold Prize (awarded to games that sell more than 500k copies in Japan):

Something may be lost in the translation (I myself know very little of Japanese). 

I have also read someone posting on GAF that their expectations were 325k units (300k regular, 25k LE)  for PS3 and 225k units (200k regular, 25k LE) for Vita. However, the source was a site I know nothing about.

I only edited out the bits of your post I wasn't responding to.

And I'm not saying I know what will sell systems in Japan.  I'm saying that expecting a HD remaster to move consoles seems a bit obscure.  Since it doesn't even seem to be an "extra content" version (i.e. Persona 4 Golden); nor is it a collection of multiple HD remakes (i.e. Kingdom Hearts 1.5), it really doesn't have much going for it other than being "a release" at a time Wii-U doesn't really have much else.
