~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!

Hate to argue against myself, but it isn't. The FW looks like it'll be a nail on the head, but the long term legs I'm predicting are almost unprecedented for home console games and certainly unprecedented for Wii JRPGs.

I get about 140,000 week one and then I figure good legs after.

It will pass 100K , I think there is a chance that it will go to 170K or above, But I say it will fall between 100-160K

Eh, isn't that a contradiction? MH Tri Japan FW was over 500k...

Yup, FW sales of Tri in Japan were above 700k, so I don't know where he's getting these figures from...

I'm not so certain. Pre-orders (as handily pointed out) were rising at an amazing level, and were above 100k 2 days ago! 

So 137k pre-orders is a possibility, but sales? I expect it to be around 150k, though at least it's a reasonable prediction. 

Of course, then you have the legs to worry about. But I'll create another thread about that later
