| Bruno Muñoz said: Well, I have to correct myself regarding Ni No Kuni, it had a somewhat low although decent opening not nice as I previously said. Level 5 shipped 600k units and they expect it to be their next "big thing" in figures a million seller. Unless it shows extremely good legs it will be a disappointment. Anyway I'm still optimistic since it is a title that caters well to the Dragon Quest and Pokemon DS audience. New IP's don't use to start strong. PD: Why do Tales of games are always so brutally front-loaded?

I think word of mouth shold carry Nino Kuni at least close to sell out the first shipment. The first Layton or Inazuma Eleven games did not start that high either and they all turned out to be fine.
On the other hand, if they can't sell out the first shipment of Nino Kuni, it would be the second time this year Level 5 overshipped (following Inazuma Eleven 3). Not a good sign for the company.
PD: cause Tales has Final Fantasy syndrome.
MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
