Slownenberg said: Depends on the price. Since its a retro style (granted its 2d retro on 3d world) it feels like an indie game that should be like $30. I'm totally down to buy this game for that kind of price. But no way I'm buying it anywhere close to $60. Does it have a price yet? If it's near $60 I say definitely under 1 million. If it's $30 I could see lifetime 1.5 - 2 million. |

konnichiwa said: I felt Xenoblade had more hype and it's retail wise struggling to pass the million. Secondly pre orders in Japan aren't that hot best case it reaches 100K (except if the next days it surprisingly climbs up in pre order numbers) |
Metroid33slayer said: Lucky if it does a million IMO. These types of games always struggle to sell. |

Time to prepare the first round of crow. Double portion for konnichiwa for underestimating both total sales and first week sales in Japan

What are you on about it sold 110k first week in Japan and was sold out and still is sold out, you were wrong on all levels.
Glad to be proven wrong, it's good to see a new IP performing well.

What I am talking about? I litterally said at the moment of that post
Best scenario reach 100K first week except if surprisingly pre orders go up.
They did go up and barely reached more than 100K first week.
And I am wrong on all levels I don't see it. Being still sold out has nothing to do with first week. First week predictions shouldn't account for second week sales etc.

In your original post you never mention first week either you just flat out said it'll only reach 100k.
You were wrong on both Xenoblade and Octopath both comfortably passed 1m.

Come on that's pretty childish =p Ofcourse it was First week, I even got quoted right after by someone saying 'i think it can do 100k FW'
Xenoblade post was about retail, at that time it was at 0.96-0.98 on VGchartz so yeah it took some time to get their. The only thing I give you is that I thought Xenoblade would be more popular than Octopath because of the hype around those two games that I personally felt.

Your post was on July 5th this is months after it was confirmed Xenoblade had passed the 1m mark it had crossed that mark back in March already as reported in the March report, if you meant first week for Octopath then fair enough although that comes more down to SE messing up stock than low pre-orders.
