I'll be over the moon if the numbers given for this game in Media Create are higher, I'm just recommending caution. It's better to have cautious expectations and be surprised, than it is to have overenthusiastic expectations and be disappointed.
This thread needs to be posted in all other over-hyped ones. Although, I do think it can be higher than 120k.

We'll have to wait until Wednesday to see the real figures. But the guy has a good track record anyway. So yes, temper any extreme expectations, especially those sponsored by French-speaking websites! Oh, and this is a complete morenoingrato-free zone. No morenoingratos are welcome in this thread! |
fortunately the sign say no morenoingratos, we can have 1,

NOW A PUNISHER CAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, if it DID sell 120k, which I doubt, it'd be pretty dissapointing considering Blue Dragon opened with 80k on 360.... but then again it's 360...
those are good #s
I expect that to be a bit low. Also, at least this thread isn't conegamer blocked!
My prediction falls in line with around 150k. That way, it agrees that the first shipment sold out, and some of the 2nd shipment was sold. Which is reasonable
I expect the 2nd week to be no less than half it's debut week, rare for a NEW JRPG
120k is quite dissapointing for a game like TLS. The first shipment was sold out before thursday (120k) but they said that the second shipment was arriving on the same 27th January (so > 120k FW). If Media Create shows numbers <=120k I guess someone has been lying to us...

New RPG IPs are often a hard sell, even in Japan. Dragon Quest took three games to become the phenomenon that it is.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Well I don't know the launch sales off FF1, but considering it saved SE from bankruptcy, I would call that an exception of being a hard sell.
