yeah, I think it would sell well.

At the risk of sounding anti-american, i love your avatar

I dont think it will do well, maybe 250k lifetime.

I think "well" in this case is going to be quite high as this has been in development for a long time and probably cost the developer a lot of money (remember they had some silly legal case against Epic and the Unreal Engine as well). The other thing to factor in is that the 2nd and 3rd titles will cost them much less to develop so even if they dont make profit on the first they will invariably make profit on the series.
6 months ago i felt this was a certain million sellar but I was unconvinced by the demo and found it boring. I think a lot of people will sit on the fence and buy it depending on the reviews. If it gets high reviews i'll definitely buy it at some point although probably when it comes down to £30 / get it second hand.
If the reviews are positive then 1 million is certain.
Roguelikes are a tough sale. Traditionally most sell rather poorly; a few lucky ones show moderate sales but great legs because the genre is so niche there's few options for buyers. The last great selling roguelike is Diablo2 and that's a 2000 (2001?) game.
It should do 1 million worldwide before it dies. I'm looking forward to playing the full game with my brother.
