The expected lifetime sales of this title seem quite high to me. It's unlikely to do more than 200K in Japan, about the same as Blue Dragon which leaves 1.2 million copies sold between Europe and NA, which I think is a little bit optimistic going by the perfomance of Blue Dragon in the west.
I just want to say that i'm very excited that Nobuo Uematsu is creating the soundtrack. He did a great job with the final fantasies, and that'll help this game as well.
