First day sell-through: 80-90%"

Does that include Bundles and Download Cards?


The site says yes

"First day sell through for other titles

Dynasty Warriors 7: Empires - 50%
Halo 4 - 50-60%
Silent Hill: Downpour - 30%"

Oh, yeah, I forgot about Halo 4 on my pic-list, I'll add later.

Halo might be able to do 100k.

You got the latest Vita vs Dreamcast comparison?

I want to see what it looks like since they've crossed streams a while back.

From NeoGAF (Mpl90):

Animal Crossing Wild World's LTD after first two weeks: 478,294
Animal Crossing City Folk's LTD after first two weeks: 413,607

Based on the sell-through and the amount of shipped copies, Animal Crossing: New Leaf (Jump Out?) sold 400K-450K copies on ITS FIRST DAY, exceeding (or almost exceeding) City Folk's LTD after 2 weeks and came close to exceeding Wild World's LTD after 2 weeks.

Animal Crossing is HUGE. Can't wait to see final numbers. Hope Nintendo release eShop numbers too.

Why would Nintendo only ship 500k copies? I know it's available on eShop, but still.


"Only" 500k? Do you realize how big a number this is for a game like this on its first day? Did you know that Nintendo were "only" going to ship 200k initially? They've always shipped a low amount of copies of casual games because casual gamers tend to buy games over the weekend rather than the first day. Besides, they already said they were going to use Animal Crossing to push digital downloading.

Well, this game will sell what it's available.

I hope there's more supply coming in the next few days. To me it's going to sell 1,3 million this month alone, beating mario to a pulp!

Calm down, dude.

Clearly 500k isn't enough if it sold through it's initial shipment in one day.
