Could WKC do a 80K first week?

Doubtful. It has 2 weeks left of pre-orders. Given trends, it should wind up with about 45k in pre-orders. *most* games that are either niche or well-preordered see about 33% of sales come from walk-ins. I think that WKC should be no different.

So it should hit 70k on first week. Certainly respectible for the title.

If the game has legs like Valkyria Chronicles, I'll be happy.

Not trying to be mean, but I don't think we're going to see many RPGs with VC-type legs. It wound up with a 20x multiplier. If WKC had similar legs, we'd be looking at it being a million seller in America along.

I believe it'll probably be closer to what Demon Souls has done on the PS3 in the West - pretty good first week, and some pretty decent legs. DS is at a 4x multiplier, and still quite healthy. I'd expect WKC to see 70k OW and 350k LTD or higher in the US.

hmmm, the only reason why VC sold so well is because it's 20 bux at Gamestop. The Japanese sales were up by a lot after the game hit the Best section too.

Lets not forget the main reason, astonishing word of mouth
