Out of curiosity, do we know where GAF gets these first day impressions? I know they get posted in those threads every week but are they from a large sample of stores or is it just one small indie store owner writing about how stuff has sold in his shop?? Either way I'm expecting modest initial sales, but they'll inrease as people buy them as PS4 expansion boxes for second rooms and things


Retailer blogs from Japan post sellthrough numbers.

To be honest with you, they're wrong a lot of the time.  And a lot of the time we don't have shipment numbers so they're useless beyond saying "that's doing well" or "that won't get a second shipment for a while".

I wouldn't read too much into them.  I'll admit I will post them every week if I do see them, because I find any form of sales numbers interesting, but I wouldn't read too much into it.

Interesting. I know what you mean about them being largely useless without shipment numbers - I've seen plenty of people ignore or criticise them for being inaccurate, so hopefully VitaTV proves them wrong again
