I'd say looking at historical data for the series for this entry would be a mistake though, considering the massive shift for the series.

Thats true, it could perform much better in Europe compared to previous entries.

Agreed! That was a major point in my sales prediction thread (before it got locked:( )

GoW sold out on Amazon US with no estimated date. Digital version surging in response.

Created a script so that it pulls the ranking of the games throughout all the amazon sites. GoW in JP ranking still trying to figure it that out because it has an age restriction. No Labo in MX 

Out of curiosity: How does your crawler work? Maybe your solution is way better then mine and so I can improve it. My programm is very brute force atm :D

It uses lynx to dump the page source and with grep obtains the line where the ranking is. The it uses sed to only show the number. I can share with you how I did it so we can make both crawlers better. Not a great programmer skills but for it gets the job done. I can't execute every time because Amazon then tells me I'm a robot, so it fails to obtain the numbers xD

PSA: My program to read, filter and post the Amazon Hourly Charts is almost done. Currently in its final testing phase. I want to make sure I did not overlook something and I have to configure the device that runs the programm first. My guess is that it will start next week. Hopefully before release of Labo/GoW.

Great work!! Looking forward to it

Monster Hunter sold out at launch and digital was huge by Japanese standards. If we see shortages at retail Sony are going to see crazy sales digitally considering the ratio is already more impressive. More profit and less used copies flooding the market. Win win for Sony. I eagerly await first week sales pr..

GOW back in stock, and SNES was in stock at Amazon today? That's a rarity

Amazon is having an update on its bestseller page. Looks cleaner but US and JP has the original look.

 

 

GoW is doing wonders globally. If it's a great game, then it deserves.
