Issun - as far as I know/knew, alot of the X360 owners that picked up Blue Dragon at or near launch, sold their systems for lack of other titles.
Hopefully, they re-buy and keep the X360 now.
With such a tepid start, sales will *probably* be closer to 20-30k hardware. However, I guess the question is what the difference between MC and Famitsu is this week.
The historical list of first day sales vs. weekly sales:
Halo 3 (45k) - 60k via MGC (I think?)
Blue Dragon (43k) - 83k
Lost Odyssey (40k)
Ace Combat 6 (35k) - 77k via MC numbers, 67k via VGC/Famitsu #s.
Assassain's Creed (20k) - 40k via MC numbers, 32k via VGC/Famitsu #s.
Winning Eleven (7k) - 12k via MC numbers.
I'll add a few more later. But it shows where the historical numbers are. Lately, X360 games (since Halo 3) have had pretty good multipliers. FFXI's expansion had a opening of 4k, and wound up with 12-13k total.
Using similar numbers, I would say that LO should do better than AC6. However, that just depends on which chart. Famitsu should say 75k, and MC could say upwards of 85-90k if trends hold true.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
