350k FW and then 1.1 million for first 10 weeks?

There IS something wrong with that.

In your opinion.   So what does it matter to you if I am wrong?

You wouldn't want me to tell you if you had something in your teeth?

OK almighty Boutros,  explain exactly why it could not happen?

You don't have to be mighty to see that there's something wrong with your numbers. I'll still take the compliment though ;)

The common second week for a game in Japan is usually 1/5 of the first week. So if you predict 350k FW, then second week will most likely be around 70-80k. And then the third week is even lower and so on and so forth.

It's very rare for a big game in Japan to have a LT total that is the double of it's FW sales. So even predicting 700k for first 10 weeks with a 350k FW is intense.

Well this is no common game so why would common trends apply here?   

Also isnt the end of December and Early January the hoiliday season for Japan?
