The sell-outs are the reason why our preview was off. Pre-orders were at just over 2m before the game released but our data was actually showing lower sales than pre-orders. Obviously not all stores had the same issues which is why a more realistic (based on pre-orders) 2.5m were sold.

Massively impressive - best selling week one EVER in Japan. I can see this doing 7-8m.

Any predictions for NA/EMEAA week 1 sales?

Could it even top Diamond/Pearl lifetime?

I think it will be more frontloaded but yeah I don't see why not. It will definitely beat Diamond / Pearl week 1 worldwide - already ahead by 1 million in Japan and could pull another 500k or so ahead in NA / EMEAA maybe? Could get VERY close to the 360 version of MW2 for the overall week 1 record

But it will soon have Black Ops' (360) week 1 record to contend with :D
