I think it's just about 100-150K first week, no more than 250k LTD

 

I always wanted to do this

Save the baby seals! Please, I'm begging you, don't use amazon to justify your opinion in sales! It hurts them!

1M just in Japan, slap on the "from the makers of DQ7" in the adverts and people will be running to buy the game. Add on that this is the first major JRPG for the console and it releases on Christmas day with absolutely no competition it is sure to sell very well.

crossbone WKC is 2 months away, Fable 2 releases soon as does TLR. LBP was at 180 before TGS and now look where it is, dont be shocked when you see big WKC numbers.

Wait did you say no more than 250K LTD in Japan? A level 5 JRPG selling only double a niece franchise such as TOV and tri-ACE's retarded child IU.............great logic there buddy.

Personally, I think tossing in "From the makers of DQVIII" and "From the makers of Prof. Layton" would really help.

Yep those 2 games sell fantastic in Japan so telling people that they are the same people behind WKC is sure to drive sales.

You really are new to VGC.

What's with  the Amazon link? Can't read Japanese...

 

250k lifetime? With it's promising features(In my opinion, more promising than TLR)... HELL NO way!!! And how can you compare when it's not yet even released?



Persona4 = WIN

He wants to prove that WKC will sell bad because it's below Fable II and below TLR in amazon.jp

I'd say it will go above 1M at some point, this game is going to be huge and US/Japan regardless, PS3 needs an exclusve RPG to call its own and i think White Knight is gonna be the one to fit the bill. just my opinion of course,
