Alot of people were much lower, especially considering you should add another 20k on top of the US numbers thus far. Im confident 80k is still fair for 1st US week,including another 1/2 week.
57k is phenomenal, better than COD WaW, better than HOTD OK, better that NMH and Z&W, and its not even a full week yet. Just wait.
Side note, RE games 1st week were over 70k but i dk how much of a full week that included. Irrelivent regardless bcoz they are known brands.

We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
