Getting "well over the 100,000 mark" would still be a big letdown for this game. PS3 needs a bonafide hit.What is a bonafide hit? 1 million? 500,000? Are these numbers WW? Because I know no matter how many ends up sold you will still say it is not a hit and move the "it's a hit" number higher.
Lets just say they need at the LEAST a 300,000+ seller (Japan alone). This isn't going to be close. Wii has 4 hits of that size already in Japan.
