Well, for PS3 that's a monster :). Although to triple it's first week's sales would require the legs of HSG5, which as you said is probably more casual.

It's a tricky game to predict though, could go either way.

 

well you can call it a monster but i was under the impression that many people had huge expectations for this, and 450k may be OK but it isn't going to do much for the PS3 (and no, doubling or tripling sales for a week means nothing in the long run).  Predictions are gonna be all over the place because really we have no idea.  If it's marketed aggressively maybe it can break through but Japan has had a really tough time with new IPs lately.
