Did SMG Tank? Or will it fall in line with historical expectations?

[loadedstatement]

I think the game will have incredible legs. And honestly, maybe a lot are waiting until its closer to the holidays to buy the game. Granted Xmas isnt as big over there. In fact, xmas is more of a commercial holiday in Japan. The major religion in Japan is Buddhism and Shinto, so Christmas is more commercial event. The main celebration revolves around Christmas eve and not Christmas day. It is still common for people to give Xmas gifts though.
