I think the game will launch with over 200k in japan alone. maybe another 300k everywhere else? Whats your thoughts? (answer my sig poll :) )

If Sony play's their cards right, 500k.

Should be around 200k - 250k in Japan, 100k with Americas + Others combined. So, around 350k is my guess.

120 k first day. 200 k first week Famitsu numbers.

They could have a hit on hand, but Ill be conservative and say 300,000- 400,000

200k tops.

I hope for the very best for WKC. THe game looks superb. Here is the thing, if you like JRPGs and you own a PS3 you need to do two things...
-Buy Valkyria Chronicles
-Buy WKC on release
These game developers need to know that the PS3 is a viable market and that RPG lovers are stronger on this side of the console war. The only way to get this through to developers is to show them with raw sales. Make these the first two 1mil plus JRPGs this gen. I assure you they are better then anything available else where so they deserve to do much better in sales.

1st week: between 400k and 500k

I hope this title sells, 1. because of Level-5, they're amazing, 2. Because PS3 needs more JRPGs, and this is the 1st exclusive that is not an SRPG, so is 1st chance for PS3 to prove that it's a viable JRPG platform...

Are we assuming it's going to do better than Valkyria Chronicles?

Hell, I'll predict 250k worldwide

I'm hoping it's a big hit, but the Japanese market can be very unpredictable. Hopefully the advertising is big and it can reach 500k or more lifetime.
