will DQVIII pass KanColle? I am thinking most likely once advertising kicks in. Although KanColle could get a huge advertising of its own.

Yesterday at COMG! Ishikawa they started to promote Batman Arkham Knight, since there is already a release date.

Don't know when it will appear in pre-order charts, though. Guess they will have available pre-orders once some games have been released.

A boring saturday if you ask me

Disappointing run for Fire Emblem, to be honest.

Not really. You guys just hype the performance up too much.

Do you expect there to be a lot of pre-orders?

OT: Great day for Yo-kai and Dragon Quest! /Good/ day for FE (though I'm ready for its final week so it can go into maximum overdrive).

Isn't it still outpacing Awakening by quite a bit?

Edit: It is. Awakening had 91pt with 12 days left. (and 201pt on its final day)

Yes, I do; since western developed games are selling better nowadays. However, I can't assure how many points can reach this Arkham Knight. The advert was only in Ishikawa store, don't know if other COMG! stores have already started.

By the way, good day for Youkai.

According to Sinobi's blog, pre-orders for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer will open this coming week. (Release date: July 30th)
