This adds 200K to the Europe launch week, making it 1M. 2M was first week shipments, ioi in his first post said between 1.8-2M first week for NA. Meaning in Europe SSBB will have to have a launch week of 1-1.2M to equal Halo 3's first week. 1.2M is more than SSBM sold lifetime in Europe and is about double what SSB sold lifetime. Also Europe is nowhere near as front loaded as either Japan or NA. Given that the SSB series has always been more popular in Japan, don't expect in your wildest dreams that SSBB will have a bigger launch week in Europe. Expect 400-600K. |
I contend that historical data cannot apply to a game hyped this much. If it did, MGS4 would have much worse sales than everyone expects. I'm not defending my opinion, I'm just explaining that while you and others might think this historical data is relevant, I'm convinced its not.
@Bingoo: I'm smoking weed, fyi.
Yes, my hopes are wishful thinking, and I'm almost certain they won't come true, but I do believe, however, that Brawl has a very good chance of outselling Halo 3 on week 1, as I believe it will outsell Halo 3 in Others on the first week, at a minimum.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
