It releases tomorrow! Any last minute predictions. I haven't got a clue how this will sell.

It should do about 70-80k first week, and 120k lifetime.

Should do 80K first week min.



It's all about the game.

Why do people think it will sell well?

History shows that games with later releases usually sell less.

The basic drought of PS3 RPG's should be reason enough to generate a fair number of sales.



It's all about the game.

I am sure it will. Maybe it will shut people up, when they say, RPG's don't sell on PS3.

 

You know that people say JRPG doesn't sell on the 360 so that would not prove anything...



How many cups of darkness have I drank over the years? Even I don't know...

No, they say JRPG's dont sell on the PS3. 

As of this moment, they are correct.

Can you show me proof that JRPG's don't sell on the PS3

The highest selling JRPG on the PS3 sold 150k.

The highest on the Xbox 360 sold over 800k (and still steadily increasing).

 

Look! I can crap too!

The top Japanese SRPG on the PS3 sold 150k. (and still steadily increasing with great legs and the release in NA and EU)

The top Japnese SRPG on the 360 sold 30k.

Here's another way you can look at it:  In Japan, Valkyria Chronicles, a niche SRPG, has outsold the 360's best selling and most popular JRPG worldwide, Lost Odyssey, in only half the time. Currently Valkyria Chronicles sits at 150k units sold, while Lost Odyssey is only at 100k.

I just noticed this today, and now I believe it's extremely likely that the ps3 version of Eternal Sonata will trump the 360 version's LTD in only one week in Japan.
