That's a brave prediction. I would be stoked if it did even half that :)

Even if I like to follow Japanese market, I'm clueless about its hidden logics, but I'll try anyway a prediction:

625k

Well coming out on a Sunday i presume that means its got a full week of sales for its opening week. Plus its the sequel to the best launching console of all time.

But most of all i like the long shot bets :D

I'm optimistic. I say 550k.

updated: 14.01.2012

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped: the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

Didn't 3DS do 370k~ launch week? I know it's holidays but VIta actually has fierce competition in 3DS, 3DS had nothing, 800k just seems 0_o

That's why it sold so badly :)

I'll say 420k

Wasn't 3DS FW actually some kind of sales record? It's only later that its sales became rather meh.

OT: my guess is 450k, though it could be much more given that it is the holidays

for a handheld maybe thought the PS2 had a bigger opening.
