It did 80k on MGS4 launch week. Final Fantasy is 4 times more popular than MGS in Japan. (How many of those 80k were bundles though?)

150k HW sales and 1.7m software 1st week I expect.

I wanted to sound intelligent. Don't burst my bubbles! :(

Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

If they release a bundle - it'll do 100K easy!

Look at the ACC bundle - that was just for the movie and demo!

Depends on the userbase. If its 4m I reckon 1.2m 150k hardware. Even this would mean a 1 in 4 attatch rate. Hard tio imagine sales of over 1.5 m unless the existing userbase grows substantially or a huge hardware lift upon its release.

Ynwa.

When is FF XIII JP launch? If late enough, Sony could combine it with the long awaited price cut and, not in the same fortnight to avoid stealing hype each other, with other big games in EU and USA.
