Why are people predicting 2m+ for Japan? The game's already stalled under 1.9m, is priced a third to a quarter of MSRP new and the used market's taken over, it's obviously not going to make 2m. Hell, it likely hasn't shipped 2m (and if it hasn't by now, it won't), we'd have certainly gotten PR if it had...

international edition

 

MGS4 best of has sold about 100k, RE5 new edition, 150k in week 1...

MGS4 Best is a budget reprint, RE5AE and FFXIII International are upgraded rereleases.  Not really the same thing, the latter's really a separate SKU and more like if you combined Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus sales together.  Also, upgraded RE rereleases tend to do much better than average (RE1DC, RECVX, RE4Wii, RE5AE, etc).

I'd say a potential FFXIII International is more likely to be multiplatform too, so everyone should probably be adding 360 JP sales too then.  It's sales also tend to depend on how much new content is added (FFX-2 International + Last Mission sold more than FFX International, despite not being as popular a game).

yeah, bur FFXIII is reaching between 1,9 and 2m itself. Addind international edition will likely reach 2,2 million

I made a prediction bet there.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379
Original cast: Badonkadonkhr, sc94597 allaboutthegames885, kingofwale, Soriku, ctk495, skeezer, RDBRaptor, Mirson,

Episode 1: OOPSY!
selnor: Too Human I even expect 3-4 mill entire life and 500,000 first day. GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day).. Tales/IU/TLR should get to 2 or 3 million! post id: 868878

Nope, FFXIII will be done at basically 1.9m (Famitsu has it at 1.86, VGC at 1.89m) it may go 10k-ish higher, but no more.  I do think a (multiplatform) International release could push another 200-300k though, and I do expect that to happen.  If it's PS3 only though, probably only 200k more.

Because they'll more than likely re-release it multiple times ('international' version, 'platinum' version, 'super premium ultra version', what have you) to try to gain more sales.  They do it all the time in Japan.  It'll more than likely gain a few more sales in Japan.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

Reason being is that so many more people have PS3s then at the time when the game launched. So XIII should get around 150k sales too.
