^heck ya

basically people like to find a reason to have fun and party. Japan was not just gonna sit around and work a normal day while the rest of the world was having a huge holiday (minus like muslim areas I guess....)

The difference is.. it's different in Japan though.  Shops are open and such etc.  Nothing really starts off until like dinner time.

So you've got all day to do your thing.

Unlike say... the US where even Atheists seem to follow the basic framework.

So i'd be surprised if it affected sales much if at all.

i spent the last 3 weeks in japan and they were advertising it like crazy, the adverts were great it really made me want to get the game but unfortunely i had to leave the day before it came out.

I live in a muslim area and i'm enjoying my christmas holiday right now... u know cuz lots of chritians live here too?

320 000 it's just a joke, he is even not sold out in amazon.jp, so it's impossible.
it's a good number, but it's not if big than expected simply.
my keyboard must be broken..

 They are still working.  I don't think most places get the day off, none of my friends did anyway.

if it sells over 200,000 for week one then that'd be huge for the PS3 sinse the top two gmes that sold the most first week is MGS4 with 480K then its Devil May Cry4 with 208K, so if it sells more the Devil May cry then it'll be the second best opening week for a PS3 game.

Are you referring to PSZ or WKC?

Aren't first day sales usually 70-80% of first week sales?
