They better get a huge shipment before IU launches...



Preorders for IU suggest less than 50K week 1... I don't think it's going to be a problem.

@Hanzo don't make baseless accusations without evidence.

 

Wow less then 50k week 1? And i was thinking IU will have bigger impact then Tales.

Tales is a pretty established series whereas IU is a totally new IP.  It's not one of the big guns (ala FF, DQ) but a pretty decent franchise nonetheless.  I would even say art style may have some impact as well.  Look at Trusty Bell's sales vs Lost Odyssey in Japan.  IU seems more western-oriented style than something like Tales.

Too bad, but maybe M$ should look at doing a special Japanese TOV bundle pack.

You don't say....I think a bundle pack with ToV would sell quite well too. Perhaps in the 8k-10k region, and give the 360 just enough of a boost to make 24K sales.

 

hehe, good one! That had me cracking up!

Well as the PS3 is now down to 9,937 a week in Japan(with NO supply problems) that would still be a result for the 360......
