If those numbers are true that is stunning. Considering White Knight Chronicles sold 100k 1st day and Valkyria Chronicles sold 70k in its 1st week this should easily be the biggest opening for a rpg in Japan. The fact that it's going to be a 360 game is mind boggling. The 360 could see a huge sales spike this week then.

 

WKC sold 132k first day, not 100k.

 

I thought that 132k was proved to be actually "around 100k"?

Having just googled it to see a lot of people/sites have it at 100k. 

EDIT: i see the problem. Your quoting Famitsu's numbers where as i was looking at media Create numbers which were said to be 130k. So i was getting confused. Either way considering there are only 900k or so 360's in Japan matching sales of a console with nearly a 3 to 1 user base is pretty good.

 

I think you have it the other way around. Some preliminary source said 100k, then the usual source we get our first day sales from said 132k. I mean, there's no way WKC would have debuted with roughly 210k units sold in its first week if the first day numbers were 100k.
