You create such great sales threads I make it a point to read each one and this is another one I appreciate.
I think 750k is realistic, but at the same time this thing is going to have legs like a supermodel. Japan doesn't have a true love for Zelda as much and it has shown in DS sales, but Mario continues to sell well on both the DS, in the form of NSMB, and on the Wii as well with Mario party 8. This is garunteed to be a huge hit in Japan if it is a good game [I think it will be unreal fantastic, far beyond good]. Mario is still strong there and the Wii is also strong. I don't think Wii games tend to be as front heavy, but they usually go week after week in the top 20. Much like the DS games, Nintendo is good at making games that people want to keep purchasing. So not the best first week sales. Possibly up to 1mil the first week, but first week actually isnt the most important to Ninty.
SMG is going to do great in Japan and maybe even record numbers, but for that to happen it doesn't need to break first week sales. This game will just have to prove itself during the holiday season in Japan and that will be the true test. If this game has sold 3 mil by the end of the year, it is on its way to doing fantastic. I have big hopes for the game and if they live up to them, then I do hope that big numbers come with that in time also.
