ioi are you serious? Do you have any kind of source that makes you say such a thing? 200k seems way too high considering The Last Story currently only has around 65.000 preorders. I wish this game would sell 1M first week but is's unlikely. Japanese people keep buying crappy software like FFXIII in spite of showing their love to Sakaguchi AAA games. What a pity.

Looks a little high to me. I hope you're right, but what new IP in Japan has even come this close?

(Looks like an idiot when it's 200,001 FW)

Many of them.

For example, just this gen, White Knight Chronicles, God Eater, Ni no Kuni did very close.

Oh. But you don't reckon it'll debut above 200k?

Also, ioi, will update OP with this new info

In future, read the rest of the thread.

He says pre-orders have really picked up, and since that article was posted, have now exceeded 100k!

Nah I don't think it will do 200k first week (let alone 150k) but I expect it to have better legs than most JRPGs.

The 2 people that voted <50,000 need to have a pie thrown in their faces, oh and I noticed ioi clarified that LS has over 100K preorders already, what a jump, and can't wait to see it do well.

~175k launch.

...with ~75k second week, ~30k third, ~20k fourth, ~15k for two weeks, ~10k for two more, ~5-10k per week for the rest of the year till holidays, ~20k through holidays and then obscenely low amount for ridiculously long to amount to 1m.

...I can dream.

Not really "dreaming". It's realistic. Look at other people in the thread for example!
