I agree with the general sentiment here - it will do 1-2M lifetime. I think there has been quite a bit of hype for this game and that + word of mouth (it IS a good game regardless of how certain fans here try to put it down) will see its sales increase with legs.

Depends on how much is shipped to be honest. If well supplied it will likely reach 1 mil.

If not we have Xenoblade.

Im not sure if that will be an issue tbh. With the long localisation time Im sure there will be quite a number of copies floating around for a while yet.

This game is getting a lot of praise from non-JRPG gamers and bloggers. Tied in to Studio Ghibli I think it's not outrageous to imagine 2 million in sales, but I think that's probably in the 95th percentile of probability, so possible but unlikely. On a system where a game like Journey can be one of the biggest selling PSN titles a game like Ni No Kuni could do very well indeed.

As always...I recommend you guys wait for NPD so you're not disappointed.

What's the usual difference between VGC and NPD numbers? What do you reckon we're looking at as a worst case scenario?

There is no usual difference, but often times when it looks like niche game sales are too good to be true, they most likely are just that.
Furthermore the US seems to be overtracked every week.

Persona 4 The Golden was almost 100k overtracked. The latest JRPG example and since February is an extremely slow month it should definitely chart, making it easier for us to say if it's under/overtracked or just right even without NPD leaks.

Oh yeah, our VC numbers ended up being way over didn't they... were they ever adjusted?

Its ceiling is around 600,000 units in the West + 150,000 in Japan for a total of 750,000 units. That would be a really great result for this title, over a million units, let alone 2 million, is simply surreal.

I apologize in advance for my bad english.
