Those pre-order charts are awful for tracking JRPGs or niche genres, there's an ioi post somewhere explaining why. We were tracking Persona 4 Golden at about ~ 110k, then we had FW sales of ~ 90k, then that got adjusted down again to 47k after NPD.

So basically, I wouldn't base ANY calculations off those pre-order charts. They overtrack Japanese games by quite a lot.

To the people predicting 250k+, you all believe this is going to outsell the DS & Wii's versions of Fire Emblem's lifetime sales in its first week?

The bundle will help, I'm sure (it's a lovely bundle) and the reviews will help even more, but still. If it does sell in that region FW, props to it, it'll be the best performing Fire Emblem game in first week sales ever. I voted 140k-160k, and I think that's probably a bit optimistic.

I'll happily be wrong though. If it's as good as the reviews are making it out to be, then it deserves to do well.

The reason I think it will outsell the other versions is because Nintendo has made this specific ones' presence much more obvious than the others.  

Due to a complete lack of other software to sell until later in the year.  I'm not sure I'm feeling the Fire Emblem just because there isn't anything else to buy right now.  I think I'm just going to sit out 3DS games until Luigi comes out.
