That means that they ordered 700,000 of them from Nintendo, and 700,000 of them are going to be on store shelves, not in user's hands. @DmeisterJ - Crisis Core sold 350k its first day, Pokemon sold 250k. The grand total for the first week was something like 700k (Pokemon) vs. 600k (Crisis Core). Either way, both significantly outsold Galaxy. |
Yeah, I just read that a few seconds ago tracing back the links.
They should have clarified that. Retailer preorders don't mean much of a hill of beans it's customer preorders that matter. I saw a link behind the Wikipedia sentence so I figured it had proper sourcing. I know better than to take Wikipedia's word for everything but when something is sourced you know it's not just coming out of someone's ass.
This is very weird. If this number is legit, for the first time ever I might have to say something is wrong with Japan. At least THIS one time anyway. 
This game is just excellence and it's backed by the best. No excuse for it not to be a blockbuster. I know handhelds are the primary consoles there now but come on this is Galaxy for God's sake. This ain't Pool Party, this ain't Rockstar presents Table Tennis. This is motherfarthing Galaxy we're talking about here.
Something ain't right here. Somebody dropped the ball. I think whatever it is will clear itself up by the weekend.
No way in hell did SMG bomb. If ANY game deserves not to bomb it's that one. Luigi's in it for God's sake! The Bros. are back. Get it together over there, y'all! Hahahahaha!
