I'm one of those people that is personally excited for this title. I know a lot of people were down by the recent screens and info and whatnot but I think it's sounding pretty good. Unfortunately there is no confirmed release date for America this year so I probably won't be able to get it. However the game is scheduled to release on Sep 25 in Japan and Oct 24 in Europe. Now the game has appeared out of nowhere with apparently no marketing or hype but does have brand as it was announced 2 yrs ago.
My question is how do you think this will launch in its first week in Japan and Europe and then how much in both by the end of the year. If you want to you can humor me with American first week sales but it's not necessary.
Really this is a though one considering I don't live in either of those areas to know if there is any marketing going on outside of what's on the internet or if there ever will be. However this title releasing so close to when it's getting built up doesn't bode well for big first week sales. So:
1st Week
Japan- 20k
Europe- 50k
Now if it is able to build up anything and it'll get holiday season it might be able to sustain some better sales down the line in Europe at least. Thus by the end of the year:
Japan- 50k
Europe- 250k
These are total guesses by me but I would love to see this title do well but I have a bad feeling that this will be the next big flop right up with Too Human and Haze considering this title had to have cost a lot given the long development time.
