Woot! Our gamestation got their first pre-order today!!!
First week projections:
85-95k Europe
100-110k Americas
250-265k overall (not including Japan) |
I hope for your sake that this is a projection for only a single store chain and not the entire market.
|
Not quite. Pre-orders. |
Projection for pre-orders?
I'm confused as to whether you're a fan of the Vita or not. You act like you are, but then act like Monster Hunter isn't a sure thing and really lowball the projected first week?
|
Yep, my projected pre-orders. I reckon closer to 400k FW for actual sales. I'm neutral towards the Vita. On the one hand, I think the console looks amazing and was rather impressed when I tried it in Game. However, I think Sony are handling the launch incredibly poorly (cost, needing memory cards, launch after Christmas, lack of advertisements), and so I don't feel confident of the console's long-term success. Will I get one? Probably, but not at launch. I need more to persuade me at that price. But I certainly like the console. |
First week? You know it sold 320k in Japan first week, right? It might be 400k for Europe alone.
I'm thinking it's gunna be 700-800k first week.
It's launching during tax season. This is the perfect time to launch as everyone is getting back a grand or two. The memory cards is not going to be a big issue. 400k is even still really, really underestimating it. |
The Japan launch also included the holiday boost, though. If it launched now, the number would probably be around half that. So 235 Europe and 190 America is what I reckon (which is damn good).
