Always a good sign that there is high demand for this game. To be honest the moment it was revealed there was no major doubt this wouldn't sell well.

Yodobashi selling out doesn't necessarily mean high demand though. As someone else as pointed out, few ppl in JPN actually go to Yodobashi to buy games. 

There are easier, and cheaper, options available. 

 

But of course it will be interesting to see how it sells in JPN. Could do very well. 

Yeah I didn't really know that, the OP is pretty vague in terms of Octopath Traveller's performance if you don't have the knowledge of how significant the retailer is. 

I still think it'll do quite well regardless though. While I expect the west to obviously make up the majority of its sales I think it'll have slightly above normal Japanese sales even if that really is only 350-500k lifetime these days.
