By comparing the sales (weekly) before hand with Blue Dragon i concluded that the 360 will sell 40k in Japan that week.

If its free, then your prediction will pass

Also, TOS2 didn't even do anything for the wii...what makes you think Tales is so important?

Are they short handed on 360s this week? Seems like I read something of the sort from Kotaku. Whether or not there is any truth to that not sure. 40k is probably a wee bit high, if not 10-20lk high, but we shall see next week.

toastboy44562,

I make a bet with you : PS3 will outsold the Xbox360 the week of Tales of Vesperia...

what do you think ?

 sounds good i would put money on the 360 next week.

That would be awesome, however, I dont think its going to happen. As much as I think 360 is on the up in Japan, its not on that much of an up. But I hope you are proven right!

40k is way too high. I'm going to say 20k is the most it will probably go.

Even if 40,000 360's were shipped that week it still wouldn't be able to do it. I mean seriously. 360 is just looking to get over 6 digits when this game releases... not come close to Wii sales.

I wouldnt be too quick to discount the 360 on Tales opening week.

Who is more likely to buy a JRPG than....the Japanese....?

There are only 7.5k Vesperia bundles apparently. Outside of the bundles, there is an Xbox 360 shortage in Japan. Lets just hope for around 13k yeah?
