45K....in Japan?....hard to imagine.

Yes, because we all know that nothing is more representative of the market than Amazon.com. Japanese or not, it shows nothing. Notice how Dragon Quest V is below Tales of Vesperia on Amazon, but the charts here don't represent that. Also, do you see how high up the 360 hard drive is? What would they need that for? Last I checked, downloadable content and XBL games aren't very popular in Japan. Again, it's not representative of the market.

around 15k at most... topping 20k if its a hit.

considering it took them a 100k first week title to sell 24k
and IU is not as great and totally new IP.

16K i predict, and 85,000 SW

45k is far too high. The range will be between 10k and 20k with the end result being somewhere in between most likely.

I predict that the 360 will sell 20k-25k the week of 9/11.

20000-25000

lol, they wont even make 10k

i predict a million, but i am drunk.

360:42k
WII 39k
PS3 10k
