It is first shipment and lifetime estimates.

FWIW, and we've said this before, 1-1.1m week one for FF XIII is looking about right judging by current preorder rates... and it will be massively frontloaded just like all big PS3 games in Japan so 1.5-1.6m lifetime (exclusing budget releases, international versions) also seems about right.

okay, I'm going to call ioi out right now about this prediction.

 

I say you are underestimate the sales by 50%, and you can quote me on that

Wow you think that FF XIII will sell 3 million lifetime in Japan?! I think you´re going to be very dissapointed. I´m guessing 2 million lifetime is possible but noway it will reach 2,5 million and certainly not 3 million.

I hope NSMBW is a huge hit in Japan, Famitsus estimates are nice and it would be great if the game could live up to it but I still have doubts. I feel certain that the game will be HUGE in America and Others but while I´m certain that it will be bigger than Super Mario Galaxy in Japan I´m still unsure of it´s full potential there. It´s going to be exciting!
