This really makes me sad. 

You think I'm delusional or something? The game has one week in America, why can't it leg out? I said "could," not "will." Hell, it might not hit 60k by the end of the year; how should I know? Just saying it has a chance. The Holidays are a big unknown.

...I think he was talking about the fact that it flopped so hard (not that it won´t reach 100k or that you are too optimitic)

I hope not, as then my response would only have made him more sad.

Regardless, I peeked at the numbers, and I have a few projections:

I think we can reasonably expect W101 to sell a further 10k between Europe+Japan over the next six weeks. Given how each of those regions have doubled their launch week sales after four additional weeks, I think 20k should be expected for America over the next six. That's 30k, bringing its total after the first week of November to about 75-80k. If it gets any kind of boost during the Holidays at all, it should manage 100k at retail by the end of the year.

I think those are reasonable expectations. If I was being optimistic, I would say 12k in Europe+Japan and 25k in America over the next six weeks; if I was being pessimistic, I would say 8k in Europe+Japan and 15k in America. Naturally, these projections are entirely dependent on the accuracy of VGChartz's tracking of the game; if we find out via NPD that it sold only 10k in the US during September, all bets are off.
