It'll sell around 150k. It is a JRPG, even if it is a Western JRPG. Even if it's a crappy Western JRPG, it's still a JRPG.

That game looks so terrible...

Looking at latest trailer it doesn't look that terrible.

We know Yakuza 3 is going to be HUGE, and RE5 will be big, but this one is "?" . Can't wait to see how it performs, also can't wait to read Famitsu review. Yes i know what i said, famitsu review

It'll be lucky to get to 50k. This type of game does not do well in Japan, though who knows, Oblivion didn't do terrible. Anything over 100k though is wishful thinking.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi
