Fans of the series tend to be of the diehard variety in Japan, not getting this demo first week might be seen as a crime punishable by castigation or something....

 

If it was Halo and America, you could probably say the same thing.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Just look at the Crackdown sales (which included a Halo 3 beta/demo version).

I WANT to say that it won't be significant since it's just a demo, but then I remember GT5: Prologue...

MH3 is going to bomb on the Wii and people are going to bitch on this forum, we will probably see some suicides. I wait for that day, just love seeing fanboys crash and burn down. ;)

OT I don't see the movie bundle selling much, probably Yakuza 3 numbers.

Like everyone else said, spike and then it will go back into irrleevance.

The actual spike though could be huge depending on how fanatical FF players have gotten with the surge of closed mega theater trailers. I guess it was a good idea on SE's part to withhold everything worthwhile and useful about the game from the public so that you could pay for a movie that's been out for years just to get a demo.

Arent these bundles very limited? If they are not, then 100k+
