But yeah I changed my prediction to 50k-70k. The fact that it's XSEED that is publishing the game and not Nintendo worries me a little on the advertisement aspect.


out of interest, what is XSEED like with advertising?

Nintendo did a pretty good job imo in Europe.  I don't remember any tv ads solely for the game, but we had this:

NoE also had Sakaguchi visit various European cities, giving Q&A sessions and generally promote the game; something that I don't remember happening with Miyamoto for Mario/Zelda or Sakurai for Brawl.

When I saw him about a week pre-release at BAFTA in London, he even signed my FFV Advance cartridge as well as the poster you see.

Well XSEED is too small of a company and doesn't have the fund to make TV commercials (at least they never did). For example they published Little King's Story and pretty much no one knew of the existence of the game outside of avid forum-goers.

It doesn't help that they already made it clear that the game would receive a limited print.
