it's gonna be closer to 180k than to 240k. TOS hasn't ever had good legs even on DS, PSP, or gamecube. 165k-200k would be a much better prediction if you ask me.

Tos was on the ds and psp?

TheSource says we can expect 180k-240 for the week. FTW!

I've never seen those numbers by a 3rd party in Japan since DragonQuest Swords! Is that really what TheSource said?

end of core gaming days prediction:

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

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.

E3 2010- Tape runs out

So its just assumption on what the sales of TOS2 then, but I hope those assumptions are true. I want to see a Wii 3rd party game that is on top 1 of Japan charts just like DQ swords did...

I think he meant Tales games in general X_X But then again this is SYMPHONIA. You know, the most popular Tales? But if sales are only at 180k or so then it's due to supply. I mean it sold like 70% of its initial shipment on the first day. I mean come on.

Namco set sales expectations for this game a little too low

retailers told namco how many to ship, not the other way around. Also, just because 70% of the first shipment sold out didn't mean there was not another shipment over the weekend, we've seen it happen many times.
