The same data I base the preliminary Japanese weekly data on suggests an opening week of at least 150,000 units. The number of preorders for the game from this data are about 2/3 of Dragon Quest Swords....
I'll say 230,000 first week...
40,000 second week...
6,000 third week...
2,000 fourth week.
In other words: Opening Week - 230,000/Opening Month - 278,000
I'm expecting a huge opening week, but then the realities of a 1 million userbase come in to play, and sales will drop quickly. No way this game has over a 25% attach rate after 4 weeks if you ask me.
When the userbase gets significantly bigger I think this game can have sales approaching or slightly over 500,000...
