there is no way they shipoped 38k to France. Where are you getting this ridiculous number??? I doubt they even shipped 50k total for entire europe.

^after reading that the UK version which was #7 on the list of top games for any platforms probably sold no more than 6600 copies to reach that place, I tend to agree.

I have just never seen what people see in that guy. What is his background? Sometimes he seems like he can barely hold a controller.

on this game now.....38,000 plus online sales in France alone! Depending on how many countries in EMEAA got this, I think 150 thousand plus is a good prediction. I remember some other thread saying it was bought out somewhere else as well. gumby wasn't that day one though?

I know The Last story was able to push past 100 thousand its first few days in japan, so I have high hopes for this one. I think all the importing may boost it a bit as well.

You're right, it was only for the first day. Point taken.

Regarding Reggie, at least on paper he sounds qualified. I know he was a top exec at VH1 in the past, and supposedly played several Zelda games to completion (he says it's his favorite series) as well as sinking hundreds of hours into DQIX.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I heard in the UK it sold 6,600 in the first 48 hours. The France figure might be closer to THREE-THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED than 38,000. However, they did say demand increased later on and the release date was pushed up earlier rather than pushed back later.......

I think the game only had ~40k shipped in all of Europe initially. The first 7 days of sales might be 38,000.



Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. "  thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Well if he played through the Zelda games he cannot be all bad ☺

What do you think about my 100,000 idea for this game first week? I guess it just depends on how many areas got it. I know Australia is gonna be later on.

I'm sorry to say I think it's overly optimistic.

GAME and Amazon France still have it. But 100k doesn't seem impossible!

Oh my god, this game is amazing.... Pretty hard though, the battle system is complex to understand, but highly refreshing.

I'm not entirely convinced that there is 38k copies for France alone. The same article said that Starfox 3DS would get a 40k shipment though, so I really don't know what to believe...Would 40k be enough for Starfox 3DS in Europe?

Perhaps those numbers were just pulled out of someones rear...
