Well, yes. I've seen the ToS sales... About 320k Japan only, then if the first week is really strong, maybe 400k lifetime, and 1.5m worldwide (considering that after a while it gets a release with price cut as ToS) should be probable...

Well that's definitely encouraging. I hope more Wii exclusives get this same treatment.

How could a niche franchise have a game that sold over a million?

It will easily outsell ToS on GC.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Being a nice niche game on a non-niche genre? Then I guess that the sales build up after the buyers tell their friends how awesome this game is and etc...

Whatever, I don't think that Tales of is a really niche franchise. XD

Considering there's 3 weeks left, I'd say that's only wishful thinking on your side.

Strong ad campaign will not start 3 weeks before release and that is what helps the game to reach new audiences.

100k first day, 200k first week.
