Ah dammit looks like I will lose my Ryu Ga Gotoku bet :(

you dont think yakuza can sell 300k first week?

 

80% day 1 (thursday) sellthrough means there's higher than expected demand, which means retailers will get extra stock. 1st week sales will likely be close to 200k.

werent you saying wkc would be lucky to get 160k opening week with similar 1st day sales and in the middle of holiday rush?

I really don't know that anymore. If you want to know check my post history. But most likely I said 180k with similar opening numbers, since that would be typical for a JRPG (some 65% day 1) and that's also what I thought for SO4 as you can read above. I changed my prediction due to the sell through percentage. 80% sellthrough means retailers are out of stock. WKC (as far as I remember) didn't have such a massive sellout percentage.
