Little sales

[Belgian]

Hello,

I just entered a fierce argument with a colleague of mine who wrote in an article:
If we take a look at the annual requirement for this product we see that little sales are expected in 2012.

I believe that little can not be used in such a sense. I proposed "a small volume of sales".

(1) Can little be used here?
(2) If not, what is the best way of putting this?


Regards,


Philip

You are right about "little". I suggest "few sales are expected".
