I expect it to sell 200K to 400K by the end of the year.

By looking at Tales of Graces F, I think Ni No Kuni will sell just as well because of the studio(s) that is behind it. And looking at Persona 4: Golden, people want JRPGS.

I didn't take into account of Japan numbers. It would be silly if it didn't reach 200K within the coming weeks. I was speaking only for the US, since the European and Australian versions were delayed until February first. I know it's not a big delay, but I was expecting it to be the same week as the US version.

It will do better than the how it did in Japan because the DS version didn't come to the US and Europe.  At least that is what I expect.

450 k FY

300k LTD for US, 150-200k LTD Europe.

im hoping for at least 500k NTSC/PAL LT which would leave it roughly at 700k, combined with the ds sales thats not too bad.

I think it will get to a million. There has been a lot of hype for this game and the initial reviews look very promising. If it does as well critically as its expected to then I expect a lot of word of mouth and legs as was the case with demons souls.

While I would really like this game to do spectacular (big fan of Ghibli), I don't honestly see it surpassing the 1mil barrier WW. I don't see many NA buyers realizing what the game is by name, and the whole "cute ghibli" style doesn't seem to be very huge here.

If I ever get a PS3 this will be the 1st game I pick up though.

The boxart looks amazing, I don't really expect it to affect sales much as the Tales of Symphonia art did however.

I think first week in the US is going to be around 125k. Not much more than the pre-orders, to be honest. Lifetime worldwide I think around 750k, maybe 800k. I would love to be wrong, but I don't think the time-frame is going to allow for much more. Had this released earlier in the generation, with time to build word of mouth, then it would have hit 1m, or very close.

at least half a million, maybe more. I definitely buying it now, i saw all the trailers, the game will be amazing
