I predict a sellout, and considering the shortages in the west I'm thinking they have been stocking up for the Japan launch.

With that in mind I predict 550k first week.

Holidays? Japanese aren't Christian. They don't have big holiday sales like Europe and NA. While yes they do have increased sales, it's nothing like what exists here. It doesn't play as big a factor.

Please be joking. Christmas is hardly christian domain anymore.


Good job at ignoring everything else I wrote ;) You're implying that Christmas is the same in Japan as it is in NA and Europe. Don't kid yourself, it's not at all the same.

You're exagerrating greatly. Japan does have a holiday sales boost. It's much smaller than the US and Western Europe, but the boost is the last two weeks of December and the first half of January. It's good to boost older leggy software+a solid doubling of normal baseline.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
