You do not have to be Nostradamous to know this will sell close to a million units week one. I am saying a full week. Not release on friday, sales on tuesday.

it won't sell close to a million on week one.

Worldwide? I think you underestimate how awesome this game is.

 

I am sure you will say I am over-estimating.

SM3DW's first-week sales were only a quarter million (mid-November) and they topped off at 310k during December, I really doubt MK8 has a chance of selling anywhere close to a million unless it launched during the holidays, and even then it's a huge long-shot. I'm not sure it'll even match 3DW's first-week sales until the holidays.

It should easily sell more than 3D Worlds first week. I think even DKCTF sold around 250k in its first week. MK8 shouldnt have a problem passing that.
