superchunk on 10 September 2009
While I don't necessarily doubt you 500k-700k range for the first full week world wide, you must remember that it is not a linear growth.
So, just because the first four days saw 150k in Japan, don't expect the last 3 to be 100k. It will fall sharply as the days progress, probably not to the sub 10k levels (Japan only here) as before but, it will eventually return to a norm of what was probably last year's sales of around 20k (again only speaking about Japan for sake of discussion).
