Quick translation:

Japanese retailers have about an estimated 100.000 pre-orders taken from SEGA's PlayStation 3 exclusive Valkyria Chronicles, as mentioned by Enterbrain.

So it looks like Valkyria Chronicles can do about 250.000 first week in Japan?

Retailer's pre-order, not consumer's pre-order ( This info was posted yesterday by Y-koron )

no, no and no, they have ordered 100k, which is the first shipment.

they don't expect to have sales more than 100k, that is what this means. Expect 60-70k opening.

According to Y-Koron there were less than 100.000 retail orders.... what's true? I hope this story because I'd really like to see a RPG succeed well in Japan on the PS3, the more sales, the sooner we'll get more I'll cross my fingers...

Woops, my bad thought it was customer pre-order. Still, 100.000 isn't that bad right?

 ugh, retail orders are the same, read above . Come on, who do you believe, a guy from japan or some german thing?

Shut up N fanboy You'd be more than happy to see every PS3 game fail, don't ya. Yugh. I was about to edit my message but my PS3 browser is doing weird. Missed the "unter" 100.000, what means less than 100.000 pre orders... so its the same message as that from Y-Koron.

 actually no, but i always trust Y-koron =P. if you would see the preview thread you would notice i said this is one of the very few ps3 games i am interested in..

Ha ha to be clear, it was a joke of course, I've got nothing against Neos Personally I hope to see it succeed or else the amount of RPG's on the PS3 are keep on being very slim. Its the main reason why I bought the darn thing in the first place... It looks pretty Japanese in style so you would say it would sell...

For a Strategy RPG it isn't bad i'd say.

Let alone a Strategy RPG without a brand name... with guns... on the PS3.

It's a GREAT game but it's one i don't see appealing to too many people.

It's my number 1 PS3 game though.

Edit: I mean to expand on this... Radiant Dawn did 76K first week in Japan.
