How are we going to dictate the first week here? first 7 days?

First week reported by Media Create, as always.

 So. 2 days world wide?

Does Media Create even have worldwide numbers?

In japan alone Nintendo will not under ship it. Im really lowballing it with 2 million, since I think it'll end up doing 3 million in at least 5 days/

Actually the low end in Japan is 1.5 million. High end 2 million.



pre orders reached a million though!

Yeah but we still don't know if those are retail orders or consumer pre-orders. I think it's the former.


we do kno, its consumer pre orders. they didn't announce shipped!

We don't know that.

Example:

http://gematsu.com/2013/03/one-piece-pirate-warriors-2-pre-orders-top-500000

They call it 'pre-orders' but in fact it's just retail orders.

I think it's the same in this case.

Nintendo has no way of knowing consumer pre-orders.



then why would they say topped? its not like how capcom stated 600k shipped then 1mil shipped. http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=212610

Either way we can't be sure. But even if it is 1 million consumer pre-orders it doesn't mean much outside of the fact that it will do at least 1 million first week. We'd need a new update of pre-orders to see how it trended in time.

Well I still think it can do at least over 6 million worldwide, if Nintendo ships adequately and retailers get their shit together. But the 2 weeks after that will have the most impact, then steady sales up till Christmas and then it keeps charting consistently ala Youkai Watch style

im letting you kno, pokemon is one of the big games that dont recieve as many pre orders but will leg them out. Its only 1 day of sales, 2 would be understandable, not everybody will get it exactly day 1, but hey go ahead! i wish you luck

I hope Youkai Watch comes to the WEST SIDE. I wanted a little game called Hyu-Stone, and Nintendo Broght it to the west and change the title to Kersploosh, now if they can also give me Beyond The Labyrinth and Tomodachi Collection and so fort, then I can be the happiest gamer ever, LOL.

I forgot about Beyond the Labyrinth, whats up with that and Time Travelers

I forgot about Time Travelers. Theres probably some other games I want too, like definitely E.X. Troopers.

Nintendo said they will localize a ton of Japanese 3rd 3DS games, no matter what they have to do to get it done.

Square-Enix already did Bravely Default localization,and Namco already did Project X Zone, and whoever already did Code of Princess, so that luckily leaves everything else for Nintendi to localize.

King of Pirates 1 & 2 & 3 is a worldwide release, and Rodea the Sky Soldier might get someone like XSEED.

Monster Hunter 4 will obviously get localize by Capcom (look at MH3 definitive version).

Maybe Nintendo will fund Capcom to finish the last 71% development for Mega Man Legends 3 retail (the prequel is already fully developed), but Capcom announced they're making a new Mega Man game, so that might be Legends 3 uncancel, since the sells of Mega Man 1 to 6 in the 3DS eShop Virtual Console in the West have been outstanding and completely caught Capcom off guard and by surprise.
