Sales a little better than my predictions, but not by much.

Waiting to see the legs though - given the "poor" reviews, along with the front loaded PS3 install base - I wouldn't be surprised if this never cracks 300k.

Still, more than decent sales for the PS3 title.

...

PS0 sales "ok" - not too surprised it didn't blow the bank. Should still do 100k week#1, if not more. These games just don't seem that well targeted on the DS.

I wonder about legs as well. There are 4 huge factors involving WKC's legs, and I wonder which way it'll go:

Pros:

• Online Mode (could sell well, ala Phantasy Star Portable or Monster Hunter 2)
• Lack of RPGs on PS3 (leading more to adopt WKC as opposed to other available, or unavailable titles)

Cons:

• Poor reviews by Famitsu
• Rather short for a JRPG (have they mentioned if a New Game+ mode or such comes into play?)

I'm willing to bet that since it's near the holiday collapse, the cons may win, and the game will see around 70-75% of it's LTD sellthrough on it's first week. But we'll know next week if it can manage at or above 35,000.
