Well, I've been able to find sales figures for this title in Japan. It came out in August of 2005 and sold a total of 191,077. http://geimin.net/da/05/rank.php (68th place in terms of software sales for 2005.)
However, this number only reflects sales up to the end of 2005. I couldn't find anything for 2006. Assuming that they sold about half of what they did in 2005, you get a total sales of about 275,000, but I believe it's more likely to be higher, considering that North America sold about 275,000 in less time.
If you add the upcoming sales in Europe, the current sales forcast of 655K is likely to be surpassed, as difficult as that may be to believe.
As long as these numbers are accurate though, I can't see how it won't sell 655K. It's looking more and more tempting to buy this...
