i'm pretty sure it was 10,000 not 1,000 but it's still pretty small amount.

Awww, yeah you're right it was 10K bundled Yakuza 3 PS3s.

The non-bundled Silver PS3 was also released too, so PS3 = bomb this week. Next week they'll drop down to ~15k or less again maybe?

Most likely, and we'll see a dropoff from hell, of Yakuza 3.

@NJ5: Yakuza wasn't really spot on. When you compare 156k and 178k it seems alright but it was already known that Yakuza sold 113k on its first day. So in fact Source estimated only Friday-Sunday sales and gave them 43k when in fact it was 65k.

There are actually lots of titles that are terrible estimated in preview (WiiFit, Gundam Musou Special, Monster Hunter Portable 2, Doraemon, Soma Bringer, Harvest Moon plus some titles that can't be compared becouse they aren't in Famitsu top at all). If I made as bad predictions in Prediction League as are in the Japanese Preview I would be losing tons of money.

oh jesus christ, you're kidding right? I thought people stopped using this list when game after game failed to spark barely any interest. 360 games could be found on here too, but they didn't amount to anything either.

currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Does anyone know which position Yakuza 3 was at in that "most anticipated" list?

@ Neos

Yes mike, this is a very good indicator of sales, very good.

I know worth mentioning. Has been a very good indicator for first day sales so far. The games which had the best first day sales for either 360, PS3, PS2 and Wii were ranked highly on their list (although as release nears, titles usually rise on the list)
