232k first day is still damned good. 350k first week?

like i said in the other thread in order for that it would need to sell more than half of first day and that doesnt tend to happen. 300k first week 320 best case. (i bet the preview will be 190k - 330k)

So what number is true 232 or 359, eva way it is good and these are the numbers star ocean would have bin doing had it bin on PS3

SO4 is way more front loaded so it probably would have sold more than these numbers. either way i bet SE is kicking themselves

PS now the people who were pissed off people were saying SO4 should have sold more understand why?

It's a whole other discussion, but no they're not. MS has payed them enough to offset the lost sales, probably even more.
