Agreed NintendoPie. It's a shame you can't really trust the numbers, but I doubt they're MASSIVELY out, especially since the data is coming from one place (Gamestop).

We'll know soon, I suppose.

Also, am I the only one intrigued by the spread in the poll? No clear winner, or loser really. Everyone thinks differently, and that's bizzare for me.

Hopefully it's not too far off because that would just be pathetic.



Sadly, it wouldn't be the first time...but let's hope the tracking has improved in accuracy. It was going this way for a while... @blkfish- cool, will make a note of it! I'm also upset how little faith you guys have in the pre-orders :/

 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I'm just surprised this is all coming from Gamestop(retail and online) and Nintendo online stores. I hope this tracking is accruate.

O_o Geez Basil! That's really low!

Around 120k I guess.

Edit: For USA I mean.

It'll sell around 160k week one, then a steep decline in weeks two and three...I'd say the game would be lucky to crack 250k LTD.

Really? 90k after FW? You know how the sales went in the EU, right? And it's still selling! For this game, it's biggest draw was word of mouth. Sure, sales dropped heavily, but they were maintained for a long time because of the praise. Unless there's stocking issues, this will be the same in America.

Hopefully. You should know though how brain washed people are here in America, kids only play FPS's because they're "cool" and most people who are over 18 don't care about RPG's. America sucks for anything other than Microsoft/Nintendo (Even though the Nintendo part is a good thing) and FPS/TPS.

I just hope those pre-order numbers are correct.

Anyway my FW prediction is 155k.

This may well be the case, but only a small amount of people need to think otherwise; FF games show there's a market, and the hype for the game should push copies.

It would also be nice if there was marketing for it.
