E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

Looks like preorders topped out at ~203k...

 

 If those are customer preorders I will qutie happy since I predicted 196,000 first week and I won't be too far off.



I love fighting games !!! Come on challenge me !

Its the reported preorders by customers (gamers), listed by a Japanese retailer scaled up for its market share. So if there were 10 preorders at a store with 1% market share, then I would place the game at 1000 preorders for Japan as an example.

Damn, epic beat down in that video.

The guy Datschge is a huge Sakuraba fan, I know him from STC. If that info is from him, I believe it. Besides, Sakuraba was confirmed at least by that video celine posted. You can tell his style a mile away.

The videos are really good. I like the music, too, and the voice acting is excellent.

Anyway, here goes hoping (again) that the localized version keeps the Japanese track (and have subtitle). They can even put every other characters to speak English as long as they leave Marta. I don't care.

Actually... that probably wouldn't work very well, either...

True that lol. "I'll face Heaven's judgement if I have to!" (that's the translation of what he said before he punched him) *PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH* LMAO. Btw, I saw a vid of Richter and Emil fighting (or maybe it was training?) but it was in a cutscene. Zelos comes out of no where, throws his dagger at Richter, he blocks it, cue Zelos theme :P I'll try to find it.

I kinda wish that they would show the guy's face being punched, and not only after it was punched...

I see. Good news then. What are your first day/first week sales expectations?

Well, I expect 100K first day and atleast 140-150K first week

This is what the Source say in Japan Preview 6-8 ". Next week however will certainly be more interesting for the PS3, as Metal Gear Solid 4 preorders are closing in on 210,000 units" so ToS2 is only 7k behind MGS4.
