I'm thinking it'll be around 650k FW with just under 2 million LT sales.

Essentially, the YW version of a HQ pokemon spin-off (Battle Collo or Mystery Dungeon).


You think Youkai will have that high a ratio when it by now is an estableshed franchise, and this is a spin-off that mainly appeals to fans, so it should be highly preordered? YW 2.5 had like 2.5k points and did 1.2m first week iirc, I'd be surprised to see Busters doing much more than 500k, or if it'll reach that at all.


It'll reach 500K fairly quickly. The only reason YW 2 and 2.5 had so many points was because there would be stock problems at launch and parents needed to preorder for their kids.

After reading through my post I realized it may be a bit confusing, but I was talking about first week.

I'd be willing to do an avatar bet on whether or not it breaks 500K first week.

Haha, no thanks I'm not that confident, like I said I would be suprised if it did that much more than 500k (I think it will be around 500k FW retail), but I've been surprised before

 

But do you think it'll do 650k FW, as the post I replied to said?

Hmm, probably not. But I will do an avatar bet if you promise to go easy on the eyes.

Yeah that's how I would have done it but that's not how Kylee did it so I thought it had already been discussed in the thread when I was gone.

Should I do it that way from here on out?


:S No.

The benefit of the combined chart is quick access to combined SKU's on one platform, so you can use that as a basis for predicting FW sales (i.e. both versions are going to count on Media Create/Famitsu, so it just saves adding them up manually).

If you're adding up SKU's and platforms, it... doesn't serve much purpose really other than for epeening with "omg looks what's #1 on the charts" in this thread.

Personally, I'd say stick to the way you're doing it, please.

So you bet Busters will do 650k FW? (Using Media Create to decide, of course.)

2 weeks avy control, easy on the eyes. Deal?

Deal. Media Create is after all, the superior tracker.

Heck, why don't we just force him to make us three charts? *evil laugh*

One with combined SKUs, same platform, one with combined multiplats as well.

 

Also Boutros, on second thought, I third this idea, I'd rather you keep it this way, I changed my mind.
