Arc Rise probably will have a debut similar debut to Muramasa. 20/25k looks realistic at the moment.

So you're expecting ARF to bomb? This isn't junk like Tact of Magic, this is a genuinely good game with a good score from Famitsu on a console with an 8m installed base. 25k first week is Agarest Senki Zero territory, a game I expect to have far lower review scores on a console with a far lower installed base. Do we really have this much lowered expectations for Wii games now?

That is some very interesting information, BKK. I knew Kenzan was undertracked, but those sales for HSG and LCS are very surprising!

Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

-First Day Sales?



Proud poster of the 10000th reply at the Official Smash Bros Update Thread.

tag - "I wouldn't trust gamespot, even if it was a live comparison."

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Fullfilled Prophecies

mrstickball on 29 May 2009

First day sales should be out in about 6-8hrs.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Some surprsing Kenzan and Hot Shots numbers. But where's Valkyria? It's been in the Famitsu top 30 for quite some while.
