Great day all around, Youkai is just on a level of its own though. PSN looks like it will have a solid preformance for a Vita title and EO has the same opening points as the last O_O Thats pretty funny, hopefully sales are the same too.

For a game releasing in the holidays it should not be opening lower than Mario Kart. |
What it matters is not first week, what it matters is week 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Mario Kart 8 sold 325k FW, 73k second W, 42k third week, 28k fourth and 23k fifth.
If in a fictional situation Smash sells 250k first week, this won't be bad if it holds thanks to holidays to 150k second week, 120k third, then rises due to holiday to 150k again and finally drops again to 120k. (This is not a prediction, just random numbers)
some of you seem new on this if you don't know how holidays work.

He's just basically saying that it should be up much higher its FW because of it launching in Dec, which i agree, but it doesn't show the entire picture. Like you said, weeks 2-5 will determine how well this game does. SM3DW is an example of this (it only launched at 100k FW, but its almost 600k a year later).
Sooooo.... If SSB did do 250k FW, i see it weekly doing (2nd-5th week)120k⇒ 80k⇒130k⇒100k which would total up to about 680k (of course it'll be higher than this hopefully/definetly 
Good, Smash! Very good! Also, wow at Yokai Watch! o.o

Are you not expecting a holiday boost for Mario Kart too? Something Smash won't have the luxary of at the same point in its life.
Did Youkai just do 100 points?! O.O

I'm talking purely about FW numbers here brah. You wanna get into a debate about weeks 2-5 then feel free but that's not what I was talking about.
Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
Man, Youkai keeps printing money. I just hope Level 5 don't overheat the franchise. How many YW games have been made in two years?
Donkey Kong Country was released in the middle of Holiday season:
First Week (week 49 2010)
03. / 00. [WII] Donkey Kong Country Returns (Nintendo) {09/12/10} - 163.310 / NEW
Second Week (week 50 2010)
04. / 03. [WII] Donkey Kong Country Returns (Nintendo) {09/12/10} - 152.990 / 316.300 (-6%)
Third week (week 51 2010)
03. / 04. [WII] Donkey Kong Country Returns (Nintendo) {2010.12.09} - 214.518 / 530.818 (+40%)
Fourth week (week 52 2010)
02. / 03. [WII] Donkey Kong Country Returns (Nintendo) {2010.12.09} - 107.487 / 638.305 (-50%)
First week for Donkey Kong Country was weak even it was holiday season. I remember at that time that a lot of people was calling the game a flop. It sold more than 950k LTD. What it matters is holiday performance. First week makes no diference. Not always means bigger sales FW, but means bigger following weeks.

No, I'm making fun of how you reacted in similar circumstances. Imagine if I did that to you every time you mentioned something to do with Playstation.
