Opening week: Can WKS beat out Microsoft's big 3 JRPGs of 08 (Japan) ?

Whoa combined sales of ToV, IU, and LR? I'm gonna assume LR comes in around ~100k too, like ToV and a bit higher than IU.

For WKS, there's hype, for sure PS3 fans are just dying for rpgs, and it comes from a very respected developer. One thing that does hurt it though, is how late in the holiday season it hits; it doesn't get to enjoy the ramp up leading up to New Years.

Best guess? At most 300k, and more likely 250k range. PS3 has ~4x 360's userbase in japan, but this game is not from an established series like ToV or from SE like IU.
