No spoilers. As tempting as that is, I gotta let it go.
Damn. I hate waiting for this.

On the bright side its already 2016. Though now that I think about it since singing in this game is important which became a requirement for the VA's then is this game gonna get a dub or not?

I think there are some va's who sing well Laura Bailey, Mary Elizabeth Mc Glynn, etc.

Well. Sales are poor in Japan.
The three finest things in life are to splat your enemies, drive them from their turf, and hear their lamentations as their rank falls!
Ouch, even Tellius is creaming it.
Leader of the Holey Brotherhood
We pretty much knew that.
We'll never see a game like this again.
What I fear is that this will convince game developers that consumers do no want crossovers instead of Consumers do not want games specifically like this is the lesson that will be taken from it.
One Strip! One Strip!
Look on the bright side; now Bayonetta 2 has another semi-prominent Wii U game it can claim to have outsold.
Wooooow, people acting like this game shot their mother in front of their eyes.
And I had no idea The Wonderful 101 sold so badly.

@Rob: Smash is doing a roaring success :V

Not really a lord of anything
I doubt that this will sour developers on crossovers. The game isn't a traditional crossover anyways, using the gameplay and themes of one series with the characters of another and the last game to do something like that did pretty well so if anything, what they'll take away from this is "Idea was good, execution needs work." Though imo, the advertising was the main issue here.

This song needs more love.

That's what I'd hope they take from it to be honest.
One Strip! One Strip!
From what I've heard the execution's pretty good too; the marketing just sucked.
Leader of the Holey Brotherhood
Well, that's not what people are gonna think is the problem.
One Strip! One Strip!
Oh yeah, W101. That would be a fun battle worldwide. I'd bet on 101 for once.
From what I'm hearing the execution was solid (aka, the game is good). The idea is the issue. Take a SRPG that normally deals with medieval fantasy war and politics, cross it over with a post-apocalyptic dungeon crawling demon collecting RPG, and you get idols? The developers decided to make a game about the Japanese entertainment industry (and more than just idols) using these properties? It's not a mystery why neither fans of either are interested. Well, it's not actually a crossover game since the SMT parts were dropped, and while there are superficial similarities to Persona, from what I here it's independent from that in terms of gameplay (and themes?).
So the lesson here is don't make a super niche anime JRPG on a Nintendo home console. I suspect that lesson will be pretty easy to apply.
Well that and don't announce something as a crossover when it's not actually a crossover, but that's on Nintendo, not Atlus.
The idea was bizarre, the result was excoriable, and the execution was excellent. 
Let this be a lesson in not announcing your games before you know what they'll be.

Thing is say they do a sequel it might be a risky move consider the first game did not even so well if the current sales remain as they are for the game. Look at Bayonetta 2 everyone says it's a good game, and from looking at gameplay I would agree.
Still it did not exactly make the kind of money that would open up a possible third game even if the creator wanted the series to end it at 2 games.

What are the issues with the Wii U, anyway? I don't have one but I've heard it's not exactly up to scratch.
Low third party support. There's also the specs thing but no one actually agrees on how strong the Wii U is since it's built so very differently from the twins. So yeah, it's mostly the third party support.
Huh, so it seems this guy is the villain.
From what I've seen from this game, it seems like a SMT game with some FE characters.

Well it kind of is a SMT game it's a modern game, but unlike SMT it's very light-hearted in the tone. Again it's not a terrible game like Sonic 06 or Boom, but it's not a successful game in terms of sales and likely won't have legs for a sequel.
Fans of the game enjoy it for what it is fans of FE and SMT wait for the next installments and ignore this game.
