Not convinced FFXIII will get to 2m in Japan given this drop occured over the holidays. Will need price cuts/re-release(s).

Might not even sell out it's first shipment completely with this sort of drop.  We could be looking at a MH3 repeat, only this time it can't be blamed on SKU hijinks.

wouldn't go that far, it only has like 110k left to go.  MH3 still has more unsold copies then that, although the multiple SKUs had something to do with that.  They still shipped more copies even with all the unsold stand alones.  It's looking more like 1.9 million or so right now.

MH3's 1st shipment was a million (well, ~850k 1st day, but it had a weekend restock) so it's only sold through ~50k shy.  Capcom then shipped out another 100k later on.

I think FFXIII will probably get a small 2nd shipment too (say 200k) before calling it quits.  It may have gotten it already actually.
