I find the bold interesting. I guess we have been overestimating God Eater 2 sales if Namco's LTD expectations is 600k lol.

Wow, I know FF-XIII-3 will end up with more points then Ghost when it releases, but CoD Ghost isn't that far behind. Even in Japan JRPG's are struggling, and mindless shooters are becoming all the rage... :-/ Sad world

Perhaps. Alternatively, maybe they're just keeping expectations low the same way Capcom was with Monster Hunter 4?

RPG's are doing fine in Japan! The top selling games of the year by a fair margin are Pokemon and Monster Hunter, and even a remake like DQ7 is in the top 5. And looking further down the Top 25 games of Japan in 2013 so far, we also have Shin Megami Tensei 4, Mario & Luigi 4, Kingdom Hearts 1.5, and even Final Fantasy 14, an MMO! And looking over the top 100 in general, we have something like a third of all games being JRPG's.

Conversely, how many shooters are popular in Japan other than CoD? Earth Defense Force, a Resident Evil: Revelations port, and last year's CoD? Even if CoD: Ghosts sells half a million copies in Japan in 2013 alone, obliterating prior records, it might not even reach the Top 10 for the year, what with the big releases still coming in Japan this year.

Or namco underestimate them selft.

a probable bad game doing bad =/= jrpgs struggling.

Really interesting; thanks for sharing.

The two bolded also surprised me too.  Every game on that list with a PSV version has loftier publisher expectations than the corresponding PS3/PSP/3DS version.  I wonder why.

God Eater 2 should reach that quite easily; even easier depending on whether digital is included.  It does seem that Bamco are being more reserved with their expectations, which is probably a good thing when you're transitioning a generation.

Akiba Strip should be able to make those PS3 numbers... Vita might be a stretch, but we'll see. 

Exstetra won't though.  Don't know why they're aiming for nearly triple on Vita.

That prediction is real low for God Eater...maybe COMG is going a bit over with this?

Sinobi's blog has been dead wrong so many times, the guy is seriously just making guesses.
