That's almost the same as the Wii version will sell. I don't think so.

Tales is a core series and 360 owners are core gamers.  Also, Japanese 360 owners love JRPGs, it's a fact.  Then again, I don't think there is a Japanese gamer that hates JRPGs.

Sorry, but that doesn't mean it will sell the same amount or more as TOS2. That is asking for about a third to a half of the 360s userbase in Japan to buy the game. Also like everybody seems to be saying tales games don't have legs.

Edit: And there are probably ALOT more core wii owners than 360 owners in Japan.
