I've seen these numbers floating around for a while, but now that I can tally these with a credible source, I thought I'd post them in their own thread rather than to bump the old one again. Here they are then :
Sales forecast for FY2009 (first number is domestic sales, number in parenthesis are North American and European sales) :
Little King Story (Wii) : 45k (NA : 120k , EU : 124k)
Oboro Muramasa Youtouden (Wii) : 56k
Harvest Fishing (DS) : (EU : 35k)
Harvest Moon : Island of Happiness (DS) : (EU : 450k)
Rune Factory (DS) : (EU : 80k)
Luminous Arc Will (DS) : 86k
Steal Princess (DS) : 19k
Avalon Code (DS) : 56k (NA :40k, EU :39k)
Tokyo Majin Gakuen (DS) : 62k
Valhalla Knights 2 (PSP) : 68k (NA : 30k)
Sources : 1, 2
Also, while we're at it (various results and forecasts) :
As it's mainly a Japanese company, it's always a bit weird to see their domestic expectations next to their overseas one :lol . However, given the actual results of some of their IP in each region, I really can't blame them to try to actively pursue the overseas market...
Also, looks like they've found a pretty good success by betting mostly on "last gen"...Good for them, I say.
