80k - first week 150k - first month Hardware up by 80 % in first week, down to 10-12k after first month. Low expectations, but in the past PS3 hardware and software sales were lower than most people expected them to be when major games were released, so that's why. Also, these are guesses anyway. | You've got the best answer and you will most likely be correct.
| Come on guys, this game has 300k first week shipment. That is only 50k less than DQS, and although I think retailers are overestimating it a bit, they have a much better idea about the demand of this game than you guys do. They are not going to order 300k for first week and only sell 80k, that would be a massive miscalculation. Even if it sells 175k in the first week that would be an overestimation by retailers.

Its the history. Thats why I cant go higher. Gundam also massively over shipped with retailers expecting more, same with Virtua Fighter. I know that potential is there. I just cant predict any higher than 140k with the way the PS3 is trending. If they could manage 200k or more on the first week, I would absolutely backflip! I hate the wait! HATE HATE. God. Sinobis first day numbers cant come soon enough.
