Really wish those Soul Sacrifice number would be higher though. And those Tales numbers O_0

Wow, Animal Crossing really picking up the pace.

And we can assume Soul Sacrifice will debut around 35k in America then?

Am I misreading that? Or are you doing some kind of equation where you subtract a certain amount from vgchartz numbers?

Talking about first day in the USA only? If the numbers here are slightly accurate, I still would guess a higher number than 35 though.

VGChartz is somewhat notorious for overestimating pre-orders of many games. Therefore, when relatively hardcore or niche games climb high up, you can expect lower numbers when sales come in.

So by around 50% would be an accurate estimation of how much vgchartz might be off by?

No idea. I usually avoid the preorder charts because of the constant innacuracies.

I kind of expect Soul Sacrifice to pull 50k numbers in NA and similar in Europe. Adding those to Japan and lifetime sales I think it can get close to half a million. Above 350k in the coming months, which places it in the top tier of selling Vita titles and priming it for an improved sequel that will hopefully have more success with the larger instal base and hardware price cuts.

Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Never trust JRPG pre-order numbers. I wonder why they can't just adjust for this fact instead of saying JRPGs are almost always overtracked

I don't know why there's a lot of things that the VGC tracking does to be honest.

Either way, I'll be picking up Soul Sacrifice soon. Looking forward to it!

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
